• Mo-Daddy's (77 Biltmore Avenue, 258-1550) hosts the sweet, soulful Americana of Heather Luttrell and Underhill Rose. However, be warned; if you're feeling homesick, this show is guaranteed to intensify the longing. 9 p.m. $5.
• "Whether it's an original piece or the works of Elizabeth Cotten to Townes Van Zandt, Kevin [Scanlon] is able to perform a very authentic sound, especially when his harmonica is hanging from his harness," reads the his bio. "In the past years, Kevin has toured all over the eastern seaboard playing with a diverse group of artists, as well as solo performing. He has performed with a professional vocal ensemble, a few bluegrass groups, folk projects, rock and roll, and projects in Irish music from traditional to modern Irish punk." Catch him at The Root Bar (1410 Tunnel Road, 299-7597). 9:30 p.m. Free.

Sunday, Dec. 26
• Christmas is officially over. That means it's time to trade the cheerful jingles for ear-splitting rock 'n' roll. What better way to start than with the gritty, chaotic blues of Shake it like a Caveman at The Get Down (1045 Haywood Road, 505-8388).
