Andalusians

Andalusians, by Nestor Diaz

MONDAY
>> Fort Reno continues its dominance of our summer concert plans with the third show of the season, featuring Cigarbox Planetarium, Small Doses and Batala. Weather reports look favorable, but as always bring the bug spray and the dog and leave the glass bottles (and arsenic) at home. Free, 7:15 p.m.

>> The Andalusians have been providing D.C. with a lo fi mixture of punk, jazz and folk, courtesy of any number of Dischord regular contributors, for years. They’ll be on tour in July, but they’re stopping in at the Black Cat first. The late Clark Sabine contributed occasionally to The Andalusians, so expect some dedications to his work. 9 p.m., $8.

TUESDAY
>> We haven’t heard too much noise from Timothy Bracken lately, but the Three Stars subject of years past will be playing with his band Timothy Bracken Complex at the Black Cat so we’ll be able to find out what new material he’s got up his sleeve. 9pm, $8.

>> If names like Assjack and Lucky Tubb bring to mind images of 40 oz. beer bottles and double wide trailers, you’re not alone. But Hank Williams III (playing with Assjack) stays true to the pure country spirit of his grandfather, the legendary Hank Williams, and will be bringing that grit to the 9:30 Club. 7pm, $20

WEDNESDAY
>> The Smithsonian Folklife Festival (which we previewed extensively here) starts back up again today and lasts through Sunday. Tonight’s fare? A Circle of Love Storytelling Session at the Oratorium, highlighting the Giving Voice theme and a Pub Performance highlighting the Wales theme at the Rugby Club. 6 p.m. for both.

>> If you’re more in the mood for Irish folk, head to Vienna where Guggenheim Grotto will be at Jammin’ Java. 8 p.m, $12.
