1. Tonic Ball VI
8 PM, Friday November 16, Radio Radio & Fountain Square Theatre, $20
Tonic Ball VI arrives this week with the most disparate set of tribute artists the event has gathered to date. Over 30 acts representing a full spectrum of musical styles will pay tribute to The Clash at Radio Radio and Madonna for an all-ages crowd at the Fountain Theatre. Each act’s two-song set means you get to hear a classic tune from a tribute artist along with an original work by the bands. Proceeds benefit Second Helpings.
2. Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings
8 PM, Sunday November 18, The Vogue, $15
Whether you know it or not, there’s a good chance you’ve heard the music of the Dap Kings. The New York-based soul/R&B revivalists backed Amy Winehouse on much of her latest album, including her 2007 hit “Rehab.” The group made their name with their commitment to recreating the sound of 60’s and 70’s soul, funk, and R&B. The group brings their own diva, Georgia-born Sharon Jones, to front them for this show.
