• Chicken man: During the pandemic, when his business travel corporate job went to Zoom, Joe Fenti found the funny in a fake company he created called Fenti Fried Chicken, posting a series of increasingly popular TikToks. His Jeremy Allen White “Yes, Chef!” bit got 12 million hits. He left workaday life for standup comedy and hasn’t looked back. Partner, his first special, just came out on YouTube. Friday, June 26, 8 p.m., BNH Stage, 16 S. Main St, Concord, $39, ccanh.com.
• Blues therapy: After two comedy shows, Manchester’s newest venue offers music, with Tom Hambridge, a multiple Grammy winning drummer, including for this year’s traditional blues album, Buddy Guy’s Ain’t Done With the Blues. His own LP, Down the Hatch, was the recent nominee for Blues Rock Album of the Year as well. New England favorites Blues Express open the show. Saturday, June 27, 7 p.m., Queen City Center, 215 Canal St., Manchester, $35, eventbrite.com.
• Sail away: Celebrate summer’s start as the Scott Spradling Band plays Yacht Rock With a Twist, a brassy take on the genre that wasn’t when songs like “Ride Like the Wind” and “Rosanna” were new; two filmmakers coined the name for a documentary. At least one musician didn’t love it — Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen, who had a two-word NSFW answer when asked for a comment. Saturday, June 27, 7:30 p.m., Rex Theatre, 23 Amherst St., Manchester, $34, palacetheatre.org.
• Helping hands: To benefit a Manchester-based charity, the Pinnacle Foundation Country Fest features Whiskey 6 Trio, a rare appearance from local hero and The Voice veteran Josh Logan, Slip Shot, and Justin Bethune. The sixth annual fundraiser aims to fight homelessness, promote financial literacy and a path to homeownership, and support area veterans. Sunday, June 28, 12:30 p.m., Auburn Pitts Bar & Grille, 167 Rockingham Road, Auburn, $25, pinnaclefoundationnh.org.
