MUSIC: LUCKI When Lucki’s Flawless Like Me debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 last year, complete with resounding praise from critics, hip-hop heads took notice. But those who’ve been following the Chicago MC since his early days know he’s been bullishly carving out a legacy since he was 17 years old. His first project, 2013’s Alternative Trap, caught the attention of several music blogs and major publications like Complex. Shortly after that, Lucki contributed his tranqued-out flows to tracks with Chance the Rapper and FKA Twigs, crossing the threshold from underground to mainstream. Adopting an openness around his experiences with depression and loneliness, Lucki revels in his realness on Flawless Like Me. Save the date for this rapper-on-the-rise when he hits the stage with Jonestown, Pennsylvania, hip-hop producer and soloist Eem Triplin. 7:30 p.m., $35, Brooklyn Bowl, ticketweb.com. –Amber Sampson

ARTS: SIGN OF THE TIMES When unadorned walls cry out for street art, the ISI Group—short for “Industry Supporting Industry”—usually answers the call. The Vegas-based entity has overseen the painting of hundreds of murals across the Valley, in locations ranging from Fremont East to Chinatown to the Linq. (And, perhaps needless to say, a large number of the colorful walls within the 18b Arts District were curated by ISI.) But if you’d like to get a complete sense of what ISI is all about, this week you only need to visit one spot: Main Street’s Recycled Propaganda gallery, where ISI has “transformed the entire space [from] top to bottom, wall to wall” with a group show featuring some 25 local artists. Bonus: ISI’s Sign of the Times show runs concurrently with a retrospective show of Recycled Propaganda’s own work—an “indoor mural and print anthology” spanning a decade of creative flamethrowing. Daily thru March 25, free, Recycled Propaganda, recycledpropaganda.com. –Geoff Carter

MISC: JIM IRSAY COLLECTION EXHIBIT & CONCERT We can officially say everything happens in Vegas now that this collection of rare rock ’n’ roll and historical artifacts will visit the city for a free exhibit at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. There’s an 1823 printing of the Declaration of Independence and Jack Kerouac’s 119-foot scroll manuscript of On the Road, and then there are musical instruments used by Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Prince and Kurt Cobain. “We just got Secretariat’s saddle, which is a great addition,” says the collector, Jim Irsay, who also happens to own the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. “I look for things people want, and want to see, like Wilson the volleyball from the movie Cast Away.” He also has his friend Hunter S. Thompson’s 1973 Chevy Caprice known as “The Red Shark,” which will be Downtown, too. Irsay also assembled an all-star rock band that performs alongside the exhibition, including R.E.M.’s Mike Mills, guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills & Nash. “It started out with me and an amp doing a couple songs with a couple friends, and then we did a show in Washington and really rehearsed and started having more special guests,” Irsay says. “Now I just try to put together the greatest show I can, and this show is going to be tremendous.” 6 p.m., Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, dlvec.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: MICKI FREE’S VEGAS JAM Native American guitarist and singer Micki Free has a CV you wouldn’t believe. He’s jammed with ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and The Rolling Stones’ Bill Wyman; he sang for influential R&B group Shalamar, netting a hit on the Footloose soundtrack and a Grammy for a song from Beverly Hills Cop; and he played in the notorious “Shirts vs. Blouses” basketball game that Charlie Murphy described on Chappelle’s Show, staying for the blueberry pancake breakfast Prince served afterward. Someone with those chops and that many stories to tell is bound to put on a solid rock, funk and blues showcase, and beginning this March—and continuing every first Monday thereafter—that’s exactly what he’ll do at Triple B, welcoming guest players and adding new highlights to that impressive résumé. 8 p.m., $20, Backstage Bar & Billiards, backstagebarlv.com. –Geoff Carter

MISC: FROZEN Disney’s Frozen track “Let It Go,” performed by Idina Menzel (insert your own Travolta joke here), infiltrated both radio airwaves and young minds—including mine, since my then-7-year-old brother begged to hear it over and over, when the smash hit movie was released in 2013. Since then, the film has spurred sequels, short films, television specials, a Disney on Ice show and a Broadway musical, which has arrived at the Smith Center. The film’s songwriters, husband-wife team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and EGOT winner Robert Lopez, created a dozen new numbers for the stage show. Return to the wintry world of Arendelle to follow Elsa and Anna on an adventure, and return home singing their magical melodies over and over and over. Thru March 18, times vary, $34-$160, Reynolds Hall, thesmithcenter.com. –Evelyn Mateos
