CAGED BIRD SINGS—The Finches are comprised of the enigmatic Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs, alongside various backing musicians over the years. Fans of Alela Diane and Laura Gibson will surely fall head over tail for the wondrous folk sounds of this California trio, making tonight's intimate show all the more special. EAC

FECES—If you spent your childhood (or last weekend) picking scabs and poking sticks at dead things, this week's OMSI Science Pub, themed "What's Eating You: People and Parasites," should be right up your creepy, dark alley. The evening includes a former parasite host, over-sharing for your entertainment. JV
