PRETTY VOICES—There's nothing in this world that could improve a Laura Gibson concert. Well, okay, maybe one thing: Holcombe Waller. This delectable pairing of singer/songwriters will include dual sets and some rare collaborations by two of the finest voices Portland music has to offer. EAC
Aladdin Theater, 3017 SE Milwaukie, 8 pm, $15, all ages
JACK'S BACK—Named for the seedy hotel of yesteryear, the Jack London Bar is your newest source for dancing, comedy, and sundry infotainment. Tonight's grand opening includes the debut of both Call of the Witty comedy and Shut Up and Dance in their new home, plus DJs, a BarFly happy hour, and... a "meat cake." MS
Jack London Bar at the Rialto, 529 SW 4th, 5 pm, FREE
And while we're on the subject, Erik Henriksen and I will be hosting a comics event at the Jack London next week. More info here.
