MUSIC: NEON RIFFS AND LOUNGE ACTS: LAS VEGAS WRITERS ON MUSIC Las Vegas is a pretty damned good music town. True, we’re no London or Nashville, but we have seen some history made in our showrooms and on our stages: We’ve hosted the likes of Frank Sinatra and Elvis for extended stays, and our local music scene has produced such talents as Shamir and The Killers. It’s altogether fitting that the Las Vegas Writes anthology series, having covered Las Vegas past, present and future in some detail, would finally devote an edition to the city’s soundtrack. Neon Riffs and Lounge Acts: Las Vegas Writers on Music features a supergroup of Vegas writers—Jason Bracelin, Sara Brown, Betty Burston, Alycia Calvert, Brian Garth, John Glionna, Wendy Randall, Timea Sipos, Benjamin Stallings, Kelly Stith, Carlos Tkacz and Tyler Williams—riffing on the sounds that have defined our city, from the lounges to the garages. Hear them reading the hits. 7 p.m., free, Clark County Library, thelibrarydistrict.org. –Geoff Carter

ARTS: MISERY We’ve all felt the heartbreak or anger when one of our favorite characters has been killed off. What would you do if the person responsible was within reach? Synced to the spooky season, Las Vegas Little Theater brings to life Misery by Stephen King, in which romance novelist Paul Sheldon is held captive by former nurse Annie Wilkes, his “No. 1 fan.” As he recovers, Annie reads his latest novel and becomes enraged when she discovers the author killed off a character, so she forces him to rewrite the story. Her anger has the author writing like his life depends on it, which it does. Thru 10/22, 8 p.m., & 10/23, 2 p.m., $30, Las Vegas Little Theater, lvlt.org. –Evelyn Mateos

PARTY: AFAN BLACK & WHITE PARTY VIP 8 p.m., GA 9 p.m., Virgin, afanlv.org. 

ARTS: KID CONGO POWERS His CV almost reads like serialized fiction: A young, queer Chicano growing up in La Puente, California, becomes the teenage president of the Ramones’ West Coast fan club, then goes on to co-found The Gun Club, and play guitar for The Cramps and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. How many others can say they’ve made their mark in so many influential bands, one after the next, and done so on their own terms? Kid Congo Powers has a hell of an interesting story to share, and share it he does in his recently released memoir Some New Kind of Kick. Get a firsthand telling when Powers visits the Writer’s Block for a reading and book signing, hosted by local journalist Lissa Townsend Rodgers.7 p.m., free, the Writer’s Block, thewritersblock.org. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: CONAN GRAY This 23-year-old YouTuber-turned-pop singer once joked that Taylor Swift “raised” him, and now he’s following in her successful footsteps. Gray quickly emerged as a prominent star of his generation after releasing debut single “Idle Town” in 2017. Next came his debut album, Kid Krow, which reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and led to a sold-out world tour. Superache, Gray’s latest project, dives deep into his personal life, acknowledging his romantic failure and difficult childhood. The Strip will be swathed in his heartbreaking indie pop when he hits the Brooklyn Bowl stage Tuesday night. With Baby Queen. 7 p.m., $35+,, Brooklyn Bowl, ticketweb.com. –Evelyn Mateos
