CULTCHA
Friday, noon, the Square Room. WDVX Blue Plate Special. Free.
Katharine Whalen's voice was what set the Squirrel Nut Zippers apart from other hot-jazz revivalists. Now she's putting it to more conventional country-rock, with pleasing results. Hendrickson is a behatted alt-country dude from Illinois, you know the type.

The only reason I can think of to go to this show is anthropological: I want to know who actually listens to these bands.

If you're in West Knoxville and haven't yet seen Brown and Allyson together, this is a nice opportunity.
Friday, 8 p.m., Bijou Theatre. $26.50.
Interesting Appalachian folk-rock from Jim James of My Morning Jacket and some unlikely colleagues. For a good cause, too: stopping mountaintop-removal mining.

If your kids have never seen it on a big screen, now's their chance.
Friday, 9 p.m., Patrick Sullivans. $8/$10.
Mic and the fellas celebrate their fine new album, Great Commotion. There's a lot of rock in town this weekend, but there won't be a rocking-er show than this one. Come ready to drink.
