Swabbies Restaurant & Bar, 6 p.m., $5 Opening the fourth annual Blues by the River two-day festival on Friday night is Pinkie Rideau & Blind Resistance (pictured).

Original co-founder of the Sacramento Blues Society, Martin was also inducted into its hall of fame in 2010. Harmonica whiz Kyle Rowland performs with his eponymous blues band on Saturday. Rounding out the show is bluesman Marshal Wilkerson. 5871 Garden Highway, www.facebook.com/ pinkieandblindresistance.

The seventh annual Jazz and Beat Festival in Davis is a celebration of the spirit of 1960s counterculture. It’ll feature two days of experimental music, poetry, dance and art, kicking off Friday night at the John Natsoulas Gallery with the Linda Bair Dance Company, poets D.R. Wagner and Phil Weidman, and winners of the Jack Kerouac Poetry Contest accompanied by the Tony Passarell Trio (pictured). A full day of music, art and poetry happens Saturday at Armadillo Music (205 F Street in Davis) from noon JAZZ/MULTIMEDIA to 6 p.m., and the event returns to the John Natsoulas Gallery at 7 p.m. for the festival’s conclusion, plus an after party on the rooftop. 521 First Street in Davis, www.natsoulas.com/schedule.
Nicki Bluhm & the Gramblers has endeared itself to fans through a combination of relentless cross-country touring, catchy ROCK videos—their cover of Daryl Hall & John Oates’ “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)” while driving in their tour van rates as one of the coolest videos ever—and solid songs. Bluhm channels a bit of Stevie Nicks on the eerie rocker “Ravenous,” and the Gramblers provide Southern rock ’n’ roll on numbers like “Little Too Late.” And in case you’re wondering if the group can make epic rock music, one listen to the second half of “Jetplane” will answer that question. The group is touring in support of its self-titled debut album. 2708 J Street, www.nickibluhm.com.

Bows & Arrows, 8 p.m., $5 The Lost Cherries are a new local band, but its individual members have been around awhile. Some have been part of the local punk scene since the mid-1980s. The group comes into the modern punk scene strong, with elements of metal, hardcore, jagged non-funk and no wave—basically sounding like a vibrant, innovative post-punk band from 30 PUNK years ago. It sounds particularly fresh because newer, younger bands have been mining this musical era for the past decade, but the Lost Cherries were actually a part of it. Lead singer Dark Moon Doll, despite her friendly demeanor, almost morphs into Lydia Lunch when the music starts. Plus, she plays a mean triangle. 1815 19th Street, www.facebook.com/thelostcherries.
