WED/20
BRANDI CARLILE Indigo Girls-approved singer/songwriter Carlile returns to Eddie’s for a stripped-down performance. Her rich voice has filled halls and arenas, so hearing her introspective musings in such an intimate setting is a rare treat. Sold out. 10 p.m. Eddie’s Attic. 404-377-4976. www.eddiesattic.com. — Hal Horowitz
THURS/21
KRS-ONE The Blastmaster KRS-One anoints Hip Hop Appreciation Week in Atlanta with a host of city all-stars: Killer Mike, Bone Crusher, Nappy Roots, Stacey Epps, A. Leon Craft, Ness Lee, the Beat Gods, Señor Kaos, 4-IZE, Punchlyne, Stahhr, Adrift da Belle, Bobby Creekwater, Stat Quo, Stanza, Dres tha Beatnik, Clan Destined, and the Regime, along with DJs Majestik and Feel X. $20. 9 p.m. The Loft. 404-885-1365. www.theloftatl.com. — Rodney Carmichael
THOMAS FUNCTION, CARNIVORES, PAPER KNIVES Huntsville, Alabama's Thomas Function takes the best parts of soul, garage, rock, gospel and shoegaze and wraps it all into one dirty Southern punk jam. Carnivores play spiraling, art-damaged indie rock. Paper Knives also perform. $7. 9 p.m. 529. 404-228-6769. www.529atl.com. — Chad Radford
FRI/22
BOB LOG III, WILLEM MAKER A near perfect double bill matches the raw, Fat Possum label’s swamp stomp of Maker with Log’s one-man-band banging blues/garage/techno schtick. Prepare for some freaked out, twisted hoodoo. $10-$12. 9 p.m. The Earl. 404-522-3950. www.badearl.com. — HH
