• Country star: Led by a Grammy-winning Country Music Hall of Famer, Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives perform an area show. The singer/guitarist joined Lester Flatts’ bluegrass band at age 13 and is an on-demand session player. Stuart’s latest album, Altitude, brings to mind Western Edge, a 2022 book about the musical connection between Nashville and L.A. Thursday, Nov. 14, 8 p.m., Nashua Center for the Arts, 201 Main St., Nashua, $50 and up at etix.com.
• Blues power: A great double bill for guitar fans has Coco Montoya and Ronnie Baker Brooks sharing the stage. Brooks’ debut for venerable Alligator Records is Blues In My DNA, a reference to his famous father, Lonnie Brooks. He grew up around his dad’s playing, as well as B.B. King, Willie Dixon and other titans. Montoya was mentored by Albert Collins and played with John Mayall. Friday, Nov. 15, 8 p.m., Tupelo Music Hall, 10 A St., Derry, $40 at tupelohall.com.
• Coral reefer: The passing of Jimmy Buffett still doesn’t seem real to most Parrot Heads, and Mac McAnally helps ease the loss as he continues to perform hits like “A Pirate Looks at Forty” and “Come Monday” with his band, which includes percussionist Erik Darken, also in Buffett’s touring group. McAnally released the Zac Brown co-write “Pirates & Parrots” last April. Saturday, Nov. 16, 7:30 p.m., Dana Center, 100 Saint Anselm Drive, Manchester, $65 at tickets.anselm.edu.
• Guitar hero: Beginning with the formation of his group Morblus in 1991, Italian-born guitarist Roberto Morbioli made a name for himself in the blues world. One critic called his mix of “funk, soul, shuffle, swamp, second line and everything else” a “relentless feast for the ears.” He plays at an area favorite roadhouse. Sunday, Nov. 17, 8 p.m., Village Trestle, 25 Main St., Goffstown; visit robertomorbioli.com.
• Doom music: An evening of loud, thick rock is topped by Dopethrone, a Montreal-based trio revered by fans of what’s called sludge and stoner metal. One critic called their 2018 LP Trans-Canadian Anger “so heavy it will rattle the calcium out of your freaking teeth.” Their latest release is Broke Sabbath. Equally doomy combos Temple of the Fuzz Witch and Hobo Wizard open. Wednesday, Nov. 20, 7 p.m., Jewel Music Venue, 61 Canal St., Manchester, $20 at eventbrite.com.
