The Jungle Brothers, with Tulengua:

The Jungle Brothers emerged in the late 1980s as leaders of the same New York-based Native Tongues hip-hop movement that included A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, De La Soul, Monie Love and Black Sheep. Drawing equally from jazz, house music, Afrocentrism and funk, the Jungle Brothers favored socially conscious lyrics that contrasted with the braggadocio then favored by many rappers. In 2020, the influential but under-sung group released “Keep It Jungle,” its first new album in 15 years. 9 p.m. Saturday. The Music Box, 1337 India St., Little Italy. $25 (must be 21 or older to attend). musicboxsd.com

The Lone Bellow, with

Tall Heights: Released in 2022, The Lone Bellow’s “Love Songs for Losers” boasts one of the best album titles in recent memory. It’s the fifth album to date by this Nashville-based trio, whose members all hail from the South but joined forces in Brooklyn. Steeped in folk, country, bluegrass, soul and gospel, their music spotlights the close vocal harmonies of Brian Elmquist, Zach Williams and Kanene Pipkin. They recorded their new album in Nashville at the home studio of the late Roy Orbison, whose haunted love songs are clearly an inspiration to The Lonesome Bellow’s members. While songs of bruised hearts and understated optimism are the group’s calling cards, their 2022 song “Gold” cogently essays the downward spiral that occurs when fading smalltown dreams collide with drug addiction. 8 p.m. Thursday. Belly Up, 143 S. Cedros Ave, Solana Beach. $27-$48 (must be 21 or older to attend). (858) 481-8140, bellyup.com
