MUSIC—Holy Waxahatchee! This special cheap show is bound to be packed for Katie Crutchfield’s affecting, folky project Waxahatchee. The cozy Doug Fir will be burbling over with her sweet-sounding emotional songs of stripped-bare beauty. If you ever been overcome with wintry heartsick sadness, this singer/songwriter’s for you. COURTNEY FERGUSON
w/the Ghost Ease, Us Lights; Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside, 9 pm, $12 ($3 w/RSVP to redbullsoundselect.com)
MUSIC—Today, Pink Floyd’s Syd Barrett would have been 69 years old. Instead of crying and listening to “Wish You Were Here” repeatedly, Ash Street Saloon has a better idea: a birthday party for Barrett, featuring Aux78, Stochastic Mettle Union, and Amy Bleu. Invite every lost soul you know (fishbowl optional). MEGAN BURBANK
Ash Street Saloon, 225 SW Ash, 9:30 pm, $4
