THE LEGENDARY SHACK*SHAKERS
LOCAL 506It’s unfair to compare this band’s studio albums to its feral live performances, especially given wild frontman Col. J.D. Wilkes. Nonetheless, on record as on stage, the band continues to grow: After throwing gypsy-folk onto the raging country-punk campfire of last year’s Pandelirium, their latest, Swampblood, cooks up a little Delta roots and swamp swing. Pay $10 at 10 p.m. Chris Parker
