FIVE LIVE SOUNDS

Boogie then brunch with the Big Band.

Friday: A Boogie wit da Hoodie

The 21-year-old rapper went platinum twice before his debut album even dropped; his attention-grabbing single “My S---”, which led him to be signed by Atlantic Records, and “Drowning”, the lead single off his debut album, The Bigger Artist, both have been certified platinum. At The Palace Theatre, 219 8th Ave. S.W. Doors, 8 p.m. $35. ticketweb.ca.

Saturday: Tei Shi with Dizzy

The Argentine-born, R&B-leaning singer/songwriter tours in support of her debut album, Crawl Space, a reference to a childhood feat: she forced herself into one to overcome her fear of the dark. At Commonwealth Bar & Stage, 731 10th Ave. S.W. Doors, 7 p.m. $15. TF.

Saturday: Prime Time Big Band Live at the Ironwood CD

launch The Big Band is live at the Ironwood every second Saturday during the fall, winter and spring, but after Saturday you can take it home with you for those alternating weekends when you need a dose of horns. At The Ironwood Stage and Grill, 1229 9th Ave. S.E. 2-4 p.m. $24; students, $17. Reservations recommended. 403-269-5581.

Wednesday: Sarah Slean

Slean’s Metaphysics is the first album for the singer-songwriter in six years. In between, she took a hiatus and bought the farm—literally. She rebuilt the old farmhouse while coming to understand her “web of being.” At Theatre Junction Grand, 608 1st St. S.W. 8 p.m. $30.96. 403-205-2922, theatrejunction.com.

Thursday: Wide Cut Weekend Opening Night Party

The first cut is not the deepest; the weekend gets started with just a single venue before it expands to seven more Friday and Saturday. Linda McRae and D. Rangers strike the first notes. At King Eddy, 438 9th Ave. S.E. Doors, 6:30 p.m. $25; weekend pass, $79. myshowpass.com.
