More than any other contemporary country superstar, Zac Brown has forged his own path around Nashville. The multi-Grammy-winning, multi-platinum-selling Georgia outfit rolls equally at home through jam band send-ups, beach bum ballads, rock-ripped anthems, and back porch country sippers. After 2015’s genre-spliced Jekyll + Hyde, he returned with this year’s rootsier seventh album, Welcome Home. Venerable Music City hitmaker Darrell Scott tunes up last year’s Couchville Sessions.

Austin Museum Day welcomes local old guard in Beat Root Revival, Uranium Savages, Extreme Heat, 2-6pm – free.

Shouting requests at a concert almost never works. Yet Ben Folds, noted goofball and artistic adviser to the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center, wants you to send him songs you’d like to hear – via paper airplane. Yes, really. KGSR’s End of Summer Splash finds the former Ben Folds Five frontman turning his concerts into a piano-bar jam session, so get your throwing arm ready.
