Chairlift play their final San Francisco show this week.
Monday, April 3
Wire @ Slim’s
The legendary on-again, off-again punks stop by Slim’s.
Madeline Kenney @ The Octopus Literary Salon
One of our favorite songwriters in recent memory — and new label owner — will appear in Oakland.
Tuesday, April 4
Courtney Marie Andrews, M. Lockwood Porter, Field Medic @ Rickshaw Stop
Folksy, introspective, witty songs by single singer-songwriters will make for an unusually intimate evening.

San Jose native Gage makes smooth, sultry jazz with a modern twist. If vocals are your thing, you’ll want to be there.

Wednesday, April 5
The Cairo Gang @ The Chapel
The heavily tuneful, wholly nostalgic Chicago institution comes out West.
Live Looping: Spontaneous Improvisational Composing @ SF Jazz Center
Expand your definition of music with a class on live looping and spontaneous composition from local musician Daniel Berkman.

Say goodbye to dance-pop mavens (and Phono 2016 headliner) at the beautiful Bimbo’s in North Beach.
John Oates @ Swedish American Hall
One-half of the essential ’80s duo will appear at Swedish to introduce his new memoir. Expect some tunes, too.
