The Lot Showcase No. 2 When it comes to D.C. music, it’s not do-it-yourself anymore — it’s do-it-together.

The event starts with a canine happy hour at 5 p.m., followed by music from local acts The Effects, Output Message and Paperhaus, above, at 7 p.m. The Lot at Atlantic Plumbing, 945 Florida Ave. NW; Sat., 5-10 p.m., free; unionkitchendc.com.

SUNDAY
T-Pain T-Pain got famous by helping popularize Auto-Tune, but his reliance on the vocal trick turned him into a punch line for other rappers, sending him to a dark place. Thankfully, he’s emerged with a newfound optimism and a forthcoming album, “Stoicville: The Phoenix,” that celebrates good times, not the bad. Howard Theatre, 620 T St. NW; Sun., 8 p.m., $35; 202-803-2899, thehoward theatre.com. (Shaw-Howard U)
