David Lindley The guitar legend's curriculum vitae would take up the entire music section, but a cross-section should give you an idea: Ry Cooder, Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Henry Kaiser, Rod Stewart, Dolly Parton and on and on and on. His own band, El Rayo-X, made some noise in the '80s, but his ability to fuse styles together on virtually any instrument with strings is distinctly Lindey-esque, and what's made him such a hot commodity. Dude can bring it. The early show at Evening Muse. (John Schacht)
Caleb Caudle and the Bayonets Tapping into classic country and roots music, Winston-Salem's Caudle writes songs tempered with Southern warmth and plenty rocking energy. There's natural soul in his writing, nothing seems to be forced. It's that combo of roots pop that makes Caudle a worthy addition to North Carolina singer/songwriters. With Luego and Dylan Gilbert.

Agent Orange Singer/guitarist Mike Palm is the only remaining original member of this Southern Cali punk band, but the old bloke can still pound the geetar and get a pit going. The band's been pounding eardrums, off and on, since the late '70s. Their recorded output has been sporadic over the years, but they've managed a collection of fast and loud records with a sprinkling of melodic new wave tunes tucked under their belt. Check the way cool version of the Get Smart theme for their surf influences. Tax Slave and 2013 Wolves are also on the bill. Milestone (Shukla)
