Amanda Pollard Taking the opportunity to support homegrown talent is always special and Amanda Pollard is that. The Northwest School of the Arts alum has been cutting her teeth as an R&B singer just about everywhere people will listen and those who’ve had the opportunity to see it first hand can tell you that her songs about the human experience are as unique as any. Charlotte-based rapper Deimont is also on the bill. $5. Twilight Caribbean.  www.twilightcaribbean.com. (Mike McCray)

Graham Lindsey Now living in the hills of Montana, folk and country singer/songwriter Lindsey writes tales laced with angst, barreling through primal acoustic numbers on guitar or banjo. He once floated around in punk bands, including kid punks Old Skull; Lindsey is quite at home now in a backwoods country mode and musically worthy to pull up a barstool with the likes of John Wesley Harding and even Dylan. With Stephen Warwick, Les Wright and Ben Henry. $7/$9. Milestone. themilestoneclub.com. (Samir Shukla)

Dirk Quinn Band Philly-based guitarist Quinn’s funk and jazz naturally avail to sinewy jazz as well as playful experimentation ala Medeski, Martin & Wood. Last summer’s release, QuinnTet, is a fine example of what contemporary jazz could aspire to and become, without acquiescing to noodling that becomes generic wallpaper. $7. Double Door Inn. doubledoorinn.com. (Shukla)

Kylesa Backed by the tribal ferocity of double drummers, the vertigo-inducing bombast of Kylesa channels the likes of noise weavers Neurosis, and hardens the sound further. Touring in support of recent recording Spiral Shadow, the quintet from the seaside burb of Savannah launches whirring guitars with oft shouted vocals. Also on the bill are Hour of 13, Caltrop, and Machete! $12/$14. Tremont Music Hall. tremontmusichall.com. (Shukla)
