A modern pop embodiment of her noted influences like Regina Spektor and Kate Nash, Em Beihold rides enlivening piano chords into blunt, bleeding-heart lyrical conclusions. After her 2021 TikTok takeoff “Groundhog Day,” about being unemployed at your parents’ house, the L.A. native was the first signing to Moon Projects, former TikTok music chief Mary Rahmani’s joint venture with Republic Records. Her latest megawatt “Numb Little Bug” hits the mental health buzzer: “Do you ever get a little bit tired of life?/ Like you’re not really happy but you don’t wanna die?” Will Linley opens. – Rachel Rascoe

Since their 2018 formation, nine-person collective Honey Made has set audiences ablaze with big-band maximalism. Keeping concertgoers on their feet, the band’s intricate grooves have earned booking alongside acts like George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic. The animated ensemble’s 2023 project Charge It to the Band Fund propels syncopated shivers down your spine with electro-glazed organs (“Dfa”) and time-suspending basslines (“Vibin”). Find the heart of their spirited sound, however, in the high-voltage brass section, matching metallic sheen and rich vibrato (“Ashy Pockets [My Mode]”). Big Sky Collective’s symphonic prog-rock arrangements and funk-forward fivesome Blue Tongue also join the night’s lineup. – Miranda Garza

In a 2023 Chron interview with Laiken Neumann, local queergrass artist Creekbed Carter Hogan said of lyrical endeavors, “To me, [music is] so forgiving and generous and expansive.” This Thursday, long-awaited fruit falls from Hogan’s talented tree as they celebrate a new self-titled album with Arkansas-originating Gar Hole Records. Album release party festivities go down at hipster’s-choice honky-tonk Sagebrush featuring backing band Middle Sattre, who come fresh from February release Tendencies. Also on the lineup are indie-folk folks the Hushabyes and “dreamy” rockers Tearjerk. Prepare for generous and expansive forgiveness through music. – James Scott
