MONDAY
Fleet Foxes’ singer drummer J. Tillman‘s most recent release didn’t quite match the thrilling peaks of his band’s first full-length, but it was a typically solid “solo” album, filled with introspective, often beautiful folk tunes. Phosphorescent rounds out a terrific double bill to start the week at the Black Cat. $13/15, 8 p.m.

>> Wolf Trap: Counting Crows’ Traveling Circus and Medicine Show. $30-48, 8 p.m.
>> The Birchmere: Johnny Lang with Sharon Little. $49.50. 7:30 p.m.
>> DC9: Foo Fighter Chris Shiflett brings his band, The Dead Peasants, to town. With Ari Shrine. $10/12, 8:00 p.m doors.
>> Iota Club and Cafe: Garland of Hours, Anna Connolly, Dennis Kane. $10, 8:00 p.m.

TUESDAY
The dead of summer always feels like prime classic rock radio time to me. And who evokes the silliness of the genre better than George Thorogood and the Destroyers, still boozin’ and bloozin’ after all these years. Check them out at Wolf Trap on Tuesday night. The Robert Cray Band opens up. $25-42, 7:30 p.m.

>> The Black Cat: Young Galaxy and Oberhofer. $10. 9:00 p.m.
>> DC9: East Hundred and the Canon Logic. $8, 8:00 p.m doors.
>> Iota Club and Cafe: Bronze Radio Return. $12, 8:30 p.m.
