Weekend Ideas: May 8, 2015

The weather’s getting warmer, but the shows are still inside — with a few hot ones to consider this weekend. On Friday, the Icelandic pop ensemble Of Monsters and Men, best known for casting its co-ed charms in “Little Talks,” plays the Orpheum Theatre behind its new album Beneath the Skin. The same night, chamber-pop group San Fermin plays the Sinclair (with local duo You Won’t replacing Natalie Prass as opener). Here’s a taste of San Fermin live and here’s a jump to my recent chat with its locally raised keyboardist-composer Ellis Ludwig-Leone.

Saturday brings Boston-launched soul-folk troubadour Martin Sexton to House of Blues while Sunday brings young jazz guitar hotshot Julian Lage to acoustic roots at Club Passim and Lo-Fang – the pop stage project of classically trained strings player and singer Matthew Jordan Hermerlin — to Brighton Music Hall.
