Local music news & events
• Roots night: An Americana double bill includes folk duo Kirstie Lynn and Galen Clark, who shine on the twangy love song “I Want a Cowboy” and trace their beginnings to Virginia’s prestigious Shenandoah Conservatory, where she was studying opera before pivoting to singer-songwriter and teaming up with multi-instrumentalist Clark. New Hampshire native Colin Nevins opens. Thursday, Aug. 7, 7 p.m., Pembroke City Limits, 134 Main St., Suncook, kirstielynn.com.
• Rough hewn: Burly protest band Tigerman Woah performs atop a three-act show that includes Highwater Haulers and Time & Place. The band formed over a decade ago around a shared love of acoustic folk music circa Woody Guthrie and Alan Lomax, evolving into a rowdier plugged-in sound that, according to the band’s website, “moves people into mosh pits and onto picket lines.” Friday, Aug. 8, 9 p.m., Shaskeen Pub, 909 Elm St., Manchester, tigermanwoah.com, 21+, $15.
• Block party: A free all-day event with donations encouraged, the Manchester Jazz & Music Festival supports the city’s school district music programs. Appearing are the New Orleans-flavored Krimson Krewe with Chris Noyes, Rich Di Mare and The Ron Poster Trio, a showcase from student and high school musicians, the Yellowhouse Blues Band, Soggy Po’ Boys and The Love Dogs. Saturday, Aug. 9, noon, Palace Theatre, 80 Hanover St., Manchester, palacetheatre.org.
