The Cool Kids Patio Show
The Doug Fir patio hosts one of the finest free stand-up showcases in town, paired perfectly with some of our city's best singer/songwriters. This time, Laryssa Birdseye provides the sounds while Shain Brendan, Jason Traeger, and Joann Schinderle bring the jokes. Hosted by Andie Main.
6 pm, Doug Fir, free
Martha Wainwright
The Aladdin Theater hosts and evening of folk-rock and pop with yet another member of the Wainwright family. This time around it's Martha (sister of Rufus and Lucy, daughter of Loudon III and the late Kate McGarrigle), who is currently touring in support of her 2016 full-length, Goodnight City.
8 pm, Aladdin Theater, $18
Natasha Kmeto, Fritzwa, Notel
Electronic producer/vocalist Natasha Kmeto’s powerful, edgy voice commands a whole room. Her single “Pour Down” kind of reminds me of electro-pop from the early ’90s. Whether she’s performing her own catalog solo, or adding vocals and keys behind Chanti Darling, or DJing under the Nasty Tasha moniker, her live sets are always dope. Arrive at a decent hour to catch Fritzwa, a talented rapper/singer/producer from New York who makes alternative R&B, funky house and hip-hop music. JENNI MOORE
8:30 pm, Holocene, $10

Twiztid, Moonshine Bandits, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Whitney Peyton, Andrew W. Boss
There will be whoos. Lots and lots of whoos. For you see, hardcore rap outfit Twiztid sings the siren song of the Juggalo, and clown rap aficionados are powerless against its call.
