SATURDAY
Anti-Flag, having toured all over the world with its RCA debut, "For Blood and Empire," comes back home to open a two-night stand at Mr. Small's Theater with Alexisonfire, Big D and the Kids Table and Set Your Goals.
TODAY
Jay Farrar, one of the lynchpins of the '90s alt-country scene, returns with his revamped version of Son Volt for an 8 p.m. show at Mr. Small's Theatre in Millvale. As the old story goes, Farrar was in Uncle Tupelo, the premier Americana band of its time, before he went off to Son Volt and his comrade Jeff Tweedy founded Wilco. While Tweedy has gone off into some adventurous and noisy directions, Farrar has stayed closer to the tried and true with songs in the vein of Neil Young and John Fogerty. The Son Volt moniker, which lasted from 1994-2000, returned in 2005 with new players on "Okemah and the Melody of Riot." The latest from Son Volt is "The Search," a record that's getting a mixed response from critics and fans. Jason Isbell, of Drive-By Truckers, opens the show. Tickets are $17-$20. Call 1-866-468-3401.
