SCROLL DOWN FOR A CHANCE TO WIN TICKETS TO MASTODON AND PAULA COLE

DARK STAR ORCHESTRA
When: 7 p.m. Tuesday
Tickets: $20 in advance, $25 day of show
Where: The Intersection, 133 Grandville Ave. SW, Grand Rapids

This Grateful Dead tribute band has 30 years of musical material to sift through for its set lists, and performances can change as the seven band members either mix it up on stage or faithfully reproduce a long ago show. And with 2,700 shows over its 20 years of existence, including some featuring original Dead members, Dark Star Orchestra has more than mastered the emotions of the Dead experience. “We offer a sort of a historical perspective at what it might have been like to go to a show in 1985, 1978 or whenever,” rhythm guitarist and vocalist Rob Eaton says on the group’s website. So, yeah, Mom and Dad, just like studying history.

Get tickets and details at sectionlive.com. And if you want to follow DSO around like you did the Dead, the band is slated for Detroit’s Majestic Theatre on Thursday.

MASTODON
EAGLES OF DEATH METAL
When: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday
Tickets: $38-$59.50, or four for $99
Where: 20 Monroe Live, 11 Ottawa Ave. NW, Grand Rapids

LOCAL SPINS TICKET GIVEAWAY: Congratulations to Local Spins reader Priscilla Hobbs. She was the first person to email john@localspins.com with “MASTODON” in the message field and won a pair of tickets to Wednesday night’s concert. Scroll down for a chance to win tickets to see Paula Cole.

Arising from Atlanta back in 2000, Mastodon’s mixology is based on heavy metal and progressive rock plus interesting lyrical approaches. They’re not above poking fun at themselves, like in this video that supports the single “Show Yourself” from this year’s release “Emperor Of Sand,” which reached No. 4 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Song chart. Eagles of Death Metal, anchored by Californians Jesse Hughes and drummer Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age) has been around even longer, and do not play death metal but rollicking rock and roll.

(Sadly, EDOM was on stage during the concert attack in Paris in 2015 that killed 89.) Opening are Chicago instrumentalists Russian Circles. Tickets available from Live Nation here.

LOCAL SPINS WEDNESDAY:
FLYLITEGEMINI, MATT GABRIEL
When: 8 p.m. Wednesday
Admission: Free
Where: SpeakEZ Lounge, Grand Rapids

Led by Joe Chamberlin (FlyPaper), Southwest Michigan’s FlyLiteGemini unfurls original folk, rock and blues. This serves as the Grand Rapids CD-release show for the band’s brand new album, which boasts 14 songs about the journey of the soul, finding love and bettering the world by changing one’s self. Co-produced by Chamberlin and Ian Gorman at Kalamazoo’s La Luna Recording and Sound, the music is informed by the classic rock vibes of the late 1960s and 1970s, with driving rhythms, soaring leads, harmonies and pop sensibilities. It’s a fresh spin on blues-influenced rock. Come and check out this talented new group.

As an established acoustic folk-blues-rock artist, Grand Rapids’ Matt Gabriel has long regaled audiences with his thoughtful and infectious, genre-spanning songs. His most recent EP, “Fiction,” has been praised for its “impressive range and versatility.” Local Spins Wednesdays feature Michigan brew specials and free parking in the Monroe Avenue lot, kitty-corner from SpeakEZ Lounge. The series is presented by Local Spins, SpeakEZ Lounge and WYCE.

INTERNATIONAL GUITAR SERIES:
JORDAN DODSON
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday
Tickets: $15 adults, $10 student/seniors
Where: Linn Maxwell Keller Recital Hall, Albert P. Smith Music Center, Grand Rapids Community College

This annual series settles into its remodeled home at Grand Rapids Community College’s music building, now known as the Albert P. Smith Music Center, which will be dedicated in a ceremony next week. But there is no time like the present to see young classical guitarist Jordan Dodson, a winner of Astral’s 2013 National Auditions, who unabashedly champions modern classical composers even as he honors the past. He counts many of them as friends, often commissions pieces from them and performs their work live.

A native of Columbus, Ohio, Dodson told Philadelphia’s Barnes Foundation in July that he started out as a kid playing electric guitar and loved Hanson, switching to classical at age 15, which he said would be considered a late start. Today Dodson lives and teaches in New York City and performs around the world. His degrees are from the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, Manhattan School of Music and the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. Check here for information about and tickets for the three upcoming concerts in the International Guitar Series.

THE WAR & TREATY
THE HACKY TURTLES
When: 9:30 p.m. Thursday
Admission: Free
Where: Founders Brewing Co., Grand Rapids

Get ready for some hair-raising inspiring music. The gospel-fired, rootsy, indie-folk of Albion’s The War & Treaty creates an absolutely electric atmosphere, especially with the soulful vocals churned out by Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Blount Trotter. This duo has turned heads the past several months, generating a buzz that’s earned them attention from Rolling Stone magazine and media outlets across the region. Their eight-song debut album, “The War and Treaty,” topped WYCE’s local/regional Hot Top 5 airplay chart after its release and they’re touring across the country.

Catch them while you can, and read more about them (and listen to them) in this Local Spins Artist Spotlight feature. (Founders follows this on Saturday with its 20th anniversary party; scroll down for more on that.)

ERICK BAKER
When: 8 p.m. Friday
Tickets: $25-$35
Where: Seven Steps Up, Spring Lake

Knoxville, Tenn., singer-songwriter Erick Baker brings his “Moving Mountains Roadshow” to West Michigan, unfurling the sort of acoustic rock that Seven Steps Up owners Michelle and Gary Hanks describe as “amazing” and “incredible.”

THE SPILL CANVAS
When: 8:30 p.m. Friday
Tickets: $15 advance, $18 day of show
Where: Bell’s Eccentric Café, Grand Rapids

The Spill Canvas is one of those emo-hued bands with an intensely devoted, super-committed fan base. And it’s easy to understand why: The South Dakota alt-rock band led by Nick Thomas has a passionate, driving quality about its music and it’s in the midst of a tour that’s celebrating the 10th anniversary of its debut album, “No Really, I’m Fine.” Word is the band may also be playing some new music as it prepares to release its next album in 2018.

Chase Huglin opens the show. Get tickets and more information online at bellsbeer.com.

Oh, it’s also lined up a who’s who slate of musical acts to perform starting at 3 p.m. Saturday. The FBC All-Stars featuring Founders employees, The Concussions, Organissimo and Devin & The Dead Frets will rock the stage while everyone toasts the taproom on its birthday.

Massachusetts singer-songwriter Paula Cole boasts an impressive resume, ranging from her 1997 Top 10 breakout hit, “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone,” to winning a Grammy Award for best new artist to being the first woman to solely produce and receive a Grammy nomination for her 1996 album, “This Fire.”

Long praised for her stellar vocals, the 49-year-old multi-instrumentalist and multi-platinum-selling artist celebrated the 20th anniversary of that acclaimed album last year and recently released “Ballads,” a collection of covers that includes Billie Holiday’s “God Bless the Child” and many more classics.

Tim Heidecker, Neil Hamburger and Clownvis playing The Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids, 9 p.m. Friday, SOLD OUT – Normally, a comedy show wouldn’t find its way into The Big List’s music roster, but this particular spectacle also features Clownvis, whose Elvis Presley imitation is legendary. Just saying. And if you’re into comedy, the Second City Comedy Company plays Calvin College’s Covenant Fine Arts Center on Saturday night.

The Insane Theatre playing Rockford Brewing in Rockford, 9:30 p.m. Friday, free – As this Grand Rapids band put it, “Let the ceremony begin … again.” Sporting a new lineup, The Insane Theatre (Chris Kemler, Jim Prange, Brian Haik and JD Jones) will be performing The Doors’ debut album in its entirety in celebration of the 50th anniversary of its release (a record which includes “Light My Fire”).

Opera Grand Rapids, “Rigoletto,” 7:30 p.m. Friday & 7:30 p.m. Saturday at DeVos Performance Hall, $25-$89, $5 for students — When people think opera, many think about “Rigoletto,” a three-act tale of love gone wrong based on a Victor Hugo play, sung in Italian with titles.

The Soul Syndicate playing Billy’s Lounge in Eastown in Grand Rapids ($5) and Jesse Ray & The Carolina Catfish playing River City Saloon in Grand Rapids, 9 p.m. Saturday — Depending on your cup of tea, this is an opportunity to catch music on different ends of the musical spectrum on different ends of town.

To each his or her own.
