TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11

Australian singer Donny Benet’s musical aesthetic can best be described as Miami Vice. With an affinity for the synthesizer- and saxophone-based sounds of the 1980s, disco legend Giorgio Moroder, and Prince, Benet’s music and smooth vocals—such as those on his recent single “Girl of My Dreams”—ambles along blissfully, oscillating between dance floor heaters and chill late-night jams. Songbyrd Music House. 7 p.m. doors. 8 p.m. show. $15. All ages, inaccessible space.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12

Atlanta hip-hop duo EarthGang—Olu and WowGr8—dropped Mirrorland last fall, with features from Young Thug, T-Pain, and Kehlani. In many ways, the eclectic LP pays tribute to Southern black culture, with funky and jazzy overtones and nods to the blues and ’90s R&B. Fillmore Silver Spring. 7 p.m. doors. 8 p.m. show. $22.50. All ages, accessible venue.

British musician Rex Orange County’s rapid rise in recent years has found the singer move in a natural progression: from his lo-fi 2016 debut Bcos U Will Never B Free, to the soulful, indie-ish Apricot Princess in 2017, to the lush, heavily produced Pony last year. Through it all, the 21-year-old has maintained the mix of hip-hop, soul, jazz, and dreamy pop that caught the attention of Tyler, the Creator and fans across the world. The Anthem. 6:30 p.m. doors. 8 p.m. show. $80.62. All ages, accessible venue.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13

Laid-back California surf rocker Donavan Frankenreiter began his music career with an acoustic EP, so it’s only natural for him to go the solo acoustic route at The Hamilton. The Jack Johnson acolyte recorded new acoustic versions of older songs—such as “Move by Yourself” and “Pass It Around,” both of which preach positivity— for last year’s Revisited 2. 6:30 p.m. doors. 7:30 p.m. show. $25-$50. All ages, accessible venue.

Former “Smash” star Megan Hilty teams with “30 Rock’s” Cheyenne Jackson and conductor/actor Damon Gupton and the National Symphony Orchestra Pops for three nights of “Broadway and Beyond” at the Kennedy Center. The two Broadway regulars will sing Wicked’s “Popular,” Frank Sinatra’s “That’s Life” and more classics from stage, screen, and the great American songbook. 7 p.m. show Thursday. 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. $29-$69. All ages, accessible venue.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14

Tedeschi Trucks Band—the big rock and soul act led by married guitarists Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks—opens the group’s annual residency at the Warner Theatre with a two-show stint that begins on Valentine’s Day (and continues next weekend). This shows will be especially poignant as they mark the one-year anniversary of the death of keyboardist Kofi Burbridge, which happened just before the band’s run began at the same venue last February. (Can’t make it to these shows? The band just announced they’ll return to Wolf Trap from July 21-22). 8 p.m. shows on Friday, Saturday, Feb. 21 and Feb. 22. $69.50-$129.50. All Ages, accessible venue.

As a songwriter, solo performer, and member of The Miracles, Smokey Robinson has penned or co-written dozens of enduring hits about love: “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” “The Way You Do the Things You Do” and “My Girl,” just to name a few. With a catalog like that, there are few artists better suited to staging a Valentine’s Day concert. (The show is sold out, but resale tickets are available through Ticketmaster.) The Theater at MGM National Harbor. 8 p.m. show. Sold out. All ages, accessible venue.

New Orleans funk band stalwarts Galactic liked playing in their city’s legendary club Tipitina’s so much that they bought the place in 2018. They followed that up shortly after in 2019 with the release of the album Already Ready Already, which features a host of guest vocalists. For their most recent single, the catchy “Float Up,” the group enlisted the services of singer Anjelika Jelly Joseph, who, along with rapper Chali 2na, will join the band over two nights at 9:30 Club this weekend. 8 p.m. doors Friday and Saturday. $30. All ages, accessible venue.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15

Chilean saxophonist Melissa Aldana brings her jazz quartet to Sixth and I in support of last year’s Visions, which aims to evoke the life and spirit of famed artist Frida Kahlo through her melodic and forward-moving compositions. 7 p.m. doors. 8 p.m. show. $30. All ages, accessible venue.

Portland’s Mean Jeans can feel like a throwback to a simpler time in punk rock: fast, fun, and loud riffs; a propensity for pizza and partying; and hooky, no-frills songs that are reminiscent of The Ramones. Black Cat. 8 p.m. doors. $12-$15. All ages, accessible venue.

Rappers Jasiah and $not are both products of the Soundcloud generation and the idea that great hip-hop music can be born anywhere (Jasiah is from Ohio; $not hails from Florida). Both are pushing boundaries in their own way, as evident on their explosive collaboration “Case 19” from Jasiah’s 2019 album Jasiah I Am. Songbyrd Music House. 7 p.m. doors. 8 p.m. show. $20-$60. All ages, inaccessible space.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16

Singer and fiddle player Amanda Shires, the brains behind the all-female country supergroup The Highwomen (featuring Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, and Natalie Hemby), returned to her eclectic solo career last week with “Deciphering Dreams,” an urgent, almost punk-ish single featuring guitar work from her husband, Jason Isbell. Sixth and I. 6:30 p.m. doors. 7:30 p.m. show. $29.50-$35. All ages, accessible venue.

Fans of indie rock outfit Car Seat Headrest know 1 Trait Danger as the band’s comedic side-project. Spearheaded by drummer Andrew Katz (and aided by singer-guitarist Will Toledo), the project—particularly last year’s 1 Trait World Tour album—allows the band to poke fun at the music industry through comedic rap-rock songs that are reminiscent of the hip-hop group Das Racist (who can forget their inane but catchy 2008 song “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell?”). Songbyrd Music House. 7 p.m. doors. 8 p.m. show. $12-15. All ages, inaccessible space.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17

Explaining saxophonist Jonah Parzen-Johnson’s music makes it sound weirder than it actually is. In a live setting, he creates melodies on a baritone saxophone, then uses synths and samplers—triggered by his feet—to build experimental compositions that are surprisingly warm and approachable. At Rhizome, the New Yorker will share a bill with D.C.’s The Caribbean and Baltimore’s Marc Miller. 7 p.m. show. $10. All ages, inaccessible venue.
