MUSIC: THE SCORCHED With Doublewide, Trvlrs, Da Moklez, 8 p.m., SoulBelly BBQ, eventbrite.com.

MUSIC: “WEIRD AL” YANKOVIC He was just a kid with jokes who happened to play a mean accordion. Creeps in his college dorm called him “weird,” so he bested them by making the word part of his name. A huge fan of the Dr. Demento radio show and its weekly bounty of comedy and novelty songs, he began recording original songs and parodies for it—and within a few short years, “Weird Al” Yankovic emerged, his persona almost fully formed. There has never been anyone quite like Yankovic before—an expert satirist with a solid understanding of how comedy works in multiple mediums (c’mon, UHF was funny), and a damned good musician and songwriter who has more than earned those five Grammys and millions upon millions of records sold. Weird Al is a pop-culture miracle, one which you need to witness for yourself sometime over his three-night run at the Venetian. Seriously, this guy. The guy who did “Amish Paradise,” “Eat It” and “Another One Rides the Bus.” Stay weird, Al. June 8, 10-11, 8 p.m., $35-$119+, Venetian Theatre, ticketmaster.com. –Geoff Carter

Tash Sultana

Tash Sultana

MUSIC: TASH SULTANA Musical polymaths like Tash Sultana don’t come around often. The gender-fluid singer-songwriter started playing guitar at age 3 and has since become a master of more than 10 instruments, including mandolin and saxophone. As a teen, Sultana busked on the streets of Melbourne and performed at open mics. That all changed in 2016 when the multifaceted artist posted a YouTube video for “Jungle,” a sultry slow burn of a track featuring Sultana with a full instrumental setup in a bedroom. Sold-out arena tours and two albums followed, and now Sultana has released their latest project, MTV Unplugged, Live in Melbourne. Plug in to Sultana’s stripped-down live performance when the singer rolls into the Cosmopolitan. June 10, 8 p.m., $45-$130+, the Chelsea, ticketmaster.com. –Amber Sampson

ARTS: SCOTT BAUER: ART OF INSPIRATION You say TOE-MAY-TOE, I say TOE-MAH-TOE. At the end of the day, it’s the same fruit often mistaken for a vegetable. Abstract artist Scott Bauer’s Art of Inspiration series spells out universal values using word art, hard-edged geometric shapes and popping colors. The paintings beg the question, do words like “truth,” “equality” or “kindness” have the same meaning for everyone? Do we all interpret them in the same way, especially in today’s news and media landscape? In his artist’s statement, Bauer says he hopes the exhibit provokes questions about culture, politics and religion and highlights humans’ similarities, rather than their polarizing differences. “Hopefully the end result will be a fresh realization of our shared humanity and a basis from which we can engage each other in a more tolerant and respectful way,” he says. Thru August 26, free, Sahara West Library, lvccld.org. –Shannon Miller
