Hollyfelds seem to come by their homegrown twang honestly, even if some members of the country/bluegrass act formerly played in the ska-punk group Five Iron Frenzy. Dip into the autoharp, guitar, Dobro, electric bass and traps tonight at the Hi-Dive, with Matthew Reveles and Fancy Cloud and Marty Jones. $6. hi-dive.com.
George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic’s Saturday show at the Fillmore may seem like no big deal. The cosmic funk fathers play our state once or twice a year. So why go? Well, there are few big-name party acts scheduled in coming weeks, and this is your chance to shake off the January blues with a few thousand of your closest friends. With U.S. Pipe. $25. Ticketmaster.
The Bands for Lands benefit at the Mercury Cafe on Saturday will spread the message of conservation with sets from Sophisticated Boom Boom (members of Eyes and Ears playing classic R&B and soul), Army of Summer (former members of Ghost Buffalo), Doo Crowder (Pee Pee) and banjo goddess Laura Goldhamer. $6. .
