On THURSDAY (the 11th), it’s last call for Mark Cutler & Men of Great Courage with special guest Sara Azriel performing at the Burnside Park Beer Garden Music Series; the beer tent opens around 4 pm and music starts around 5:30 pm; visit kennedyplaza.org for details. On FRIDAY (the 12th), local crew Milkbread funks up the Spot (401.383.7133) along with Boston acts Otis Grove and Akashic Record. And “folk-tronic” duo VaVaBlume celebrates an EP release at AS220 (401.831.9327) with Su Casa, Rat Ruckus, and Dizzy Bats. SATURDAY (the 13th) highlights include the Chris Monti Band at Nick-a-Nee’s (21+, no cover, 401.861.7290); Boston rock legends The Neighborhoods hit the Ocean Mist (401.782.3740); and Resources for Human Development hosts a killer fundraiser at Dusk (401.714.0444). RHD-RI employs some local rock royalty, and bands like Lolita Black, Boo City, and In Heat will shred for a worthy cause (just $10 at the door!). On SUNDAY (the 14th), head to AS220 early for RISA’s Songwriters in the Round with Steve Allain and Katherine Quinn (6-8 pm), then hang around for the electro-sex grooves of the Kolour Kult with The Mast, Trip Dicks, and All the Friends.
