Bowery Ballroom

Stones Fest NYC 2013

Rock & roll

• $$

The Cabin Down Below Band, a collective featuring Rolling Stone music penman Austin Scaggs, pays tribute to the Rolling Stones along with special guests Norah Jones, Adam Green, Patrick Carney of the Black Keys, Jason Isbell, Nicole Atkins and a slew...

Laura Stevenson + Owen + Field Mouse

Alternative rock, Indie rock

• $

Quirky local folkie Laura Stevenson reminds us of how Joanna Newsom sounded before she went utterly baroque. Her current work—which can be heard on her latest Don Giovanni release, Wheel—has a nice girl-group-gone-indie vibe.

Amanda Palmer

Categories, Rock, Pop & Hip-hop

• $$
• Critics' pick

Outrageous, charismatic and oft-grating performer (and former Dresden Doll) Amanda Palmer heads a Mermaid Parade benefit for Coney Island USA. All proceeds will go toward reconstruction efforts and making this year's parade happen, and Palmer will be...

The Thermals + Screaming Females

Indie rock

• $$
• Critics' pick

The Thermals—that fuzz-happy, eminently lovable Portland, OR, indie-rock trio—play a pair of Bowery shows in celebration of their long-awaited sixth LP, Desperate Ground. Nicely matched support comes from Marissa Paternoster's garage punks, Screaming...

Mount Kimbie + Holy Other + Vinyl Williams

Electronica

• $$

Buzzy British dubstep duo Mount Kimbie tops an evening of blissed-out electronica, airing tracks from its new album for Warp, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth.

Futurebirds + The Doorbells

Indie rock

Rootsy, psychedelic country rockers Futurebirds hail from Athens, GA. Tonight they bring their new album, Baba Yaga (Fat Possum), to the Bowery Ballroom. Fans of the Drive-By Truckers and Heartless Bastards (with whom the Futurebirds have toured) will...

Tea Leaf Green + The Spring Standards

Categories, Rock, Pop & Hip-hop

• $$

Tea Leaf Green is another jam-band upstart. The group borrows heavily from its hippie-leaning forefathers and has attracted a bit of a following among the doobie-smoking masses.

King Tuff + Nude Beach + Hector's Pets

Indie rock, Rock & roll

• $$

Cult singer-songwriter King Tuff (née Kyle Thomas) released his debut full-length on Sub Pop at the end of 2012, offering beyond-catchy cuts of glam power pop, bursting with Stonesian riffs and matchless sneer. Tonight he tops the bill at the Bowery,...

Lissie + Vance Joy

Rock & roll

• $$

Cali folk-rocker Lissie takes on Americana with a cool, breezy vibe and strong voice—you might've heard her take on Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness" last summer, or even seen her play TONY's showcase at SXSW in March. Tonight she plays a sold-out show...

Pokey LaFarge+ Luke Winslow King + Blind Boy Paxton

Blues, Roots & Country

• $$

Boxcar balladeer Pokey LaFarge mixes ragtime, country-blues and Western swing, sings a little like Hank Williams and wears a natty dickey bow. No surprise, then, that his new, self-titled album is due out on Jack White's authen-tastic Third Man Recor...
