Ryan Bingham has been making rough-cut traditional-leaning country music going back to his 2008 Mescalito debut, but it took him years playing a singing ranch hand on Yellowstone for him to gain a wide audience. Now that the show has run its course, the New Mexico-born singer and actor is back out on the road with his band, the Texas Gentlemen, touring behind his seventh album, They Call Us the Lucky Ones. 8 p.m., The Fillmore, 29 E. Allen St., thefillmorephilly.com

Audrey Hobert co-wrote six songs on Gracie Abrams’ 2024 album The Secret of Us. And the former writer for Nickelodeon sitcom The Really Loud House — which was developed by her father, Tim Hobert — wrote or co-wrote all 12 songs on her 2025 Who’s the Clown? debut, which was produced by Ricky Gourmet. It features a song called “Phoebe” that is not about Phoebe Bridgers but Lisa Kudrow’s character in Friends. 8:30 p.m., Met Philly, 858 N. Broad St., themetphilly.com

Providence, R.I., roots rock quartet Deer Tick digs into the history of its hometown on its stylistically varied new Coin-O-Matic. The album is named after the vending machine company that was the headquarters for notorious mobster Raymond Patriarca. Colorado-born opener Jobi Riccio’s sophomore album, Face the Feeling, is one of the best albums of the first half of 2026. Deer Tick also plays a WXPN Free at Noon on Friday. 8 p.m., Wednesday, Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill, undergroundarts.org and noon, Friday, World Stage, 3025 Walnut St. xpn.org

Country star Tyler Childers put on a thrilling show at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion last September, and the “Snipe Hunt Tour” — for the Kentucky songwriter’s 2025 album, Snipe Hunter — is making one last pass through the area with a show in Hershey. “IDK S— About Cars” singer Evan Honer opens. 8 p.m., Hersheypark Stadium, 100 Hershey Park Drive, Hershey, hersheyentertainment.com

Stereo League, the Philly band that Alex Savoth leads with Dan King, is still a thing. But Savoth’s songwriting takes a more personal approach on Midnight Sun, his first solo album, which finds him moving in a warm-hearted, ruminative country-tinged songs direction, is produced by bassist Brendan McGeehan. Savoth stretches himself impressively as a vocalist on “Wild Sweet Love,” steel guitarist Mike “Slo-Mo” Brenner is all over the album, and the accordion on “Bound to Be” is played by Rob Hyman of the Hooters. Max Davey, who impressed at last month’s Bob Dylan Birthday Bash, opens, along with James Clark. 8 p.m., Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., johnnybrendas.com

In April, the Indigo Girls’ Emily Saliers announced that she’s been diagnosed with two movement disorders that have had a significant effect on her singing, making it impossible for her to hold the long clear notes that are a hallmark of her harmonizing with musical partner Amy Ray. The announcement made by Saliers, who made her entry into musical theater with Starstruck (which premiered at the Bucks County Playhouse this winter), has been met with support from fans, including Brandi Carlile. “To say that we have Emily’s back is the understatement of the century,” Carlile posted on social media. Brian Dunne of Fantastic Cat opens. 7 p.m., Concerts Under the Stars, 175 Valley Forge Road, King of Prussia, concertsunderthestarskop.com

Surrealist British songwriter writes clever and catchy songs that put his vivid imagination into play, and he mixes psychedelia with garage rock and a fixation on fish. His most recent album is 2024’s 1967: Vacations in the Past, a collection of covers from that year. He’s touring with an electric band that includes Philadelphia drummer Patrick Berkery. Emma Swift, whose set will likely include some Bob Dylan songs from her 2020 album, Blonde on the Tracks, will open and sing with Hitchcock. 8 p.m., Ardmore Music Hall, 23 E. Lancaster Ave., Ardmore, ArdmoreMusicHall.com

Devo is one of those bands that keep threatening to retire, and happily haven’t done so. Two years after the Mark Mothersbaugh-led Ohio band known for “Whip It” and “Wonderful World” kicked off their “50 Years of Devolution” farewell tour, the band known for wearing jumpsuits and flower pots on their heads is back in Atlantic City. 8 p.m., Event Center, Borgata, borgata.mgmresorts.com

Plus, Oklahoma hotshot guitarist Johnny Mullenax. 1 p.m., North Wayne Avenue, Wayne, waynemusicfestival.com

Jack Antonoff is producer to the stars — Taylor Swift, Lorde, Sabrina Carpenter, Lana Del Rey, St. Vincent, and Kendrick Lamar among them. The New Jersey singer-guitarist and former member of Fun also fronts Bleachers, whose fifth album Everyone for Ten Minutes, was released last month. Their song “The Van” contains a sample of Philly soul band Blue Magic’s “Just Don’t Want to Be Lonely.” In March, Antonoff charmed in a one-man Bleachers Free at Noon show.

A Boogie Wit da Hoodie was born to be an artist. Quite literally: The Bronx rapper’s given name is Artist Julius Dubose.

Frank Brown has been writing jangly, wistful, and immediately memorable power-pop songs for a variety of Philly bands for decades now. That list includes the likes of Buzz Zeemer and Travel Lanes. The first of those, Flight of Mavis, last released an album in 1989. But now there’s a terrific new one called Mavis Sings Mavis, with an album cover that nods to Harry Nilsson’s 1970 Nilsson Sings Newman. It reunites Brown with drummer Ken Buono, bass player Dave McElroy, plus guitarist John Cunningham. The quartet plays a show — it’s a matinee! — in Wayne ln Sunday. 2 p.m., 118 North, 118 N. Wayne Ave., Wayne, 118NorthWayne.com
