Storied local bluesman PAUL GEREMIA nimbly wields the 12-string axe real good for free at Nick-a-Nee’s (401.861.7290). And harmonica maestro JAMES MONTGOMERY has his crew in tow at the Hi-Hat in Davol Square (401.543.6500). Friday (the 24th) at Jake’s Bar & Grille delivers three local indie rock acts for only $5, with THE JESSE MINUTE and Pawtucket’s FASHION FAILURES opening for COMA COMA, who release a new record next week. Call 401.453.5253. Other Friday highlights include a potent rock show at the Living Room with West Warwick quintet THE NOISE CAMPAIGN and SHE RIDES (also releasing an album on the 28th) and New Bedford’s A WILHELM SCREAM headlining.
