Spring’s in the air with a hodgepodge of diverse shows that includes a Boston-bred jamband that’s rising above the radar. Dopapod has both the heady grooves and gall to spend the whole weekend at the Sinclair, and has already sold out its three-night ticket package toward that end. Nice openers too, with Soule Monde (featuring keyboardist Paczkowski and Salem-rooted drummer Russ Lawton from Trey Anastasio’s band) on Friday and the slinky reggae jammers Dub Apocalypse on Saturday. Another local veteran fringing the jamband scene, Ryan Montbleau brings his soulful rock to the Paradise Rock Club both Friday and Saturday night. On Friday and Saturday, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Rumble preliminaries also round out at T.T. the Bear’s Place. Here’s the schedule.
On Saturday, eclectic roots singer Rhiannon Giddens steps out from string band the Carolina Chocolate Drops at the Somerville Theatre in support of her aptly named, T Bone Burnett-produced solo debut Tomorrow is My Turn. In turn, the opera-trained Giddens was drafted for Burnett’s new “Basement Tapes” project with Elvis Costello, Jim James and Marcus Mumford. On Sunday, local nylon-string guitarist Juanito Pascual leads his fluid New Flamenco Trio in afternoon shows at the Museum of Fine Arts, the Juliana Hatfield Three returns to rock Cuisine en Locale, and English guitar legend Jeff Beck holds court with his instrumental band at the Orpheum Theatre. When it comes to six-string masters, especially how he coaxes vibrato cries from his Stratocaster, there’s no one that sounds like Beck.
