TUESDAY, APRIL 23

While we’re waiting for Tove Lo to finally release a banger on par with “Talking Body,” at least we’ve got Allie X, who specializes in similarly breathy, syncopated pop, and adds a distinctly witchy vibe. Catch her at U Street Music Hall. 7 p.m. $15. All ages, accessible venue.

While Against Me! is on a break, its lead singer Laura Jane Grace has been hard at work with her band The Devouring Mothers. Their recent album Brought to Rot will please fans of Grace’s original 20-year-old group, but with a punk sound that’s somehow more intimate. The Devouring Mothers will be at Rock & Roll Hotel this week. 7 p.m. doors, 8 p.m. show. $25. All ages, accessible venue.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24

Brooklyn-based Emily Reo makes dense, singsong-y pop that recalls Cults or Chvrches. Catch her at Comet Ping Pong. 9 p.m. $12. All ages, accessible venue.

THURSDAY, APRIL 25

The D.C. based duo Oh He Dead describes itself as an “indie soul band with haunting harmonies and a penchant for MURDER.” But you could also say that Cynthia Johnson and Andrew Valenti make groovy R&B-inspired jams anchored by Johnson’s warm, Macy Gray-like vocals. Catch them at Sotto. 8 p.m. FREE.  All ages.

Fresh off his debut at Coachella this month, Mr. Eazi brings his Ghanaian-Nigerian dance sound to Fillmore Silver Spring. 7 p.m. doors, 8 p.m. show. $25. All ages, accessible venue.

FRIDAY, APRIL 26

Not everyone who sang six second song covers on Vine turned their followers into real-life chart success (they can’t all be Shawn Mendes). One who seems primed for success is Anna Clendening: No longer singing acoustic piano ballads into a shaky iPhone camera, the North Carolina native has graduated to radio-ready pop, like the sultry 2018 single “Invisible.” Don’t miss the cheeky video, above, with a gut punch of a twist at the end. DC9. 7:30 p.m. show, $12. All ages, inaccessible space.

Assuming Snow Patrol finally caught up to those cars, the Scottish band has moved on to a new musical era. Their latest album Wildness reveals a more subdued sound than the alternative pop-rock group that starred on your iPod in 2007. Hear it for yourself at The Anthem. 6:30 p.m. doors, 8 p.m. show. $45-$75. All ages, accessible venue.

Joan Baez apparently has a hard time saying goodbye: The folk legend is on the second leg of her farewell tour, where she’s playing a lot of Bob Dylan covers, despite her rocky relationship with the singer since their mid-60s breakup. Warner Theatre. 7 p.m. doors, 8 p.m. show. $175-$510. All ages, accessible venue.

SATURDAY, APRIL 27

The 3-year-old Breakin’ Even Fest features rising punk and rock bands for a weekend of programming, this time at The Pie Shop. Saturday’s lineup features Brooklyn-based Proper., Night Surf, World’s Scariest Police Chases, and more. The Pie Shop, Friday-Sunday, 7 p.m. $12 per show or $35 for three-night pass. 18+, inaccessible venue.

SUNDAY, APRIL 28

Kali Uchis and Jorja Smith collaborated on one of 2018’s most inescapable tracks, “Tyrant,” from Uchis’ latest album. Now the two rising R&B stars are kicking off a co-headlining tour at The Anthem. 6:30 p.m. doors, 8 p.m. show. $45-$75. All ages, accessible venue.

Now that the original Wonder Woman has hung up her lasso of truth, Lynda Carter has gone all in on her music career. Her latest album, 2018’s Red Rock & Blues includes covers of “Take Me to the River,” “Stop in the Name of Love,” and “I’m on Fire.” Hear her sound at the Kennedy Center. 7:30 p.m. $65-$125. All ages, accessible venue,

MONDAY, APRIL 29

Tennessee-based Faux Ferocious specializes in psych rock with a playful side. Check out the Nashville-based quartet at Songbyrd. 8:30 p.m. doors, 9 p.m. show. All ages, accessible space.

This post has been updated to reflect that the Breakin’ Even Fest is only open to patrons 18 and up.
