The Ben Tucker Trio
Mainstream jazz combo featuring some of the area’s best players – including bassist Tucker, drummer Steve Primatic, pianist Bob Alberti and vocalist Huxsie Scott. Fri. - Sat., 7:30 pm, The Jazz Corner (Hilton Head).
Scott H. Biram
This “Dirty Old One Man Band” is a hoot in more ways than one. Like Fat Possum Records’ Bob Log III, he injects a nihilistic attitude into old, John Lee Hooker-inspired solo footstomp blues, and like Athens legends The Chickasaw Muddpuppies, he’s not afraid to place tongue in cheek when it suits the song. As with the late Hasil Adkins, Biram’s an intense, one-man freak scene, but his backwater bit came from salad days in metal and punk instead of a lonely cabin. A little-known fringe artist who flips the bird to convention, he’s been championed by cowpunk icons such as Hank Williams III. Local outlaw country crooner Whiskey Dick opens. Wed., 10 pm, The Jinx.
Bottles & Cans
Energetic and ballsy Delta blues-rock. Fri., 6 pm, The Warehouse + Sat., 9 pm, The Mansion on Forsyth Park.

Mary Davis & Company
Acoustic pop, rock and soul covers from members of Wilmington Island’s Band In The Park. Sat., 7 pm, Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House.
The Angela Linsey Trio
Songwriter/singer known for a soulful vocal style that’s been likened to Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, Ricky Lee Jones, and Roberta Flack. Tues., 7 pm, The Mansion on Forsyth Park.
Madoca
This Atlanta-based keyboardist won several awards in her native Japan, and blends jazz, fusion and funk (think Chick Corea).

The Mutiny
