FRIDAY

Another Roadside Attraction

With Crystal Bright & the Silver Hands

This one is kind of sad. Another Roadside Attraction is amicably parting with band members Joy Truskowski and Richard Harvey. All will continue on, but this band had established something unique in the valley. Get there in time to hear an intriguing opening act from North Carolina.

Details: 9 p.m. The Horseshoe, 1641 9th Street S.E., Roanoke. $5; 21 and older. 400-7013, reverbnation.com/AnotherRdSideAttraction

Star City SWAG

If this sounds like a Justin Bieber cover band, don’t be fooled! It’s practically the opposite. Classy singer Shawn Spencer is back at the performing thing, and she’ll be covering the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, backed by some of Roanoke’s most talented players — David Ferguson (keys), Jeff Hofmann (bass) and Robert Vaughan (there’s that name again) on drums.

Details: 7 p.m. Billy’s, 102 Market St., Roanoke. Free. 206-3353, billysroanoke.com, facebook.com/StarCitySwag

Corb Lund

Straight outta Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, ex-speed metal player Lund is more into rocking country/folk, in evidence on his latest album, “Cabin Fever,” a really fun listen.

Details: 8 p.m. Kirk Avenue Music Hall, Roanoke. $18. kirkavenuemusic.com, corblund.com
