Drew Holcomb plays Eddie’s Attic Wed., August 5.
WED/5
DREW HOLCOMB East Nashville-based singer/guitarist Holcomb’s original songs range from feel-good folk-rock (“Love Is Magic”) to sweet country love ballads (“Hung the Moon”). $10-$50. 8 p.m. Eddie’s Attic. 404-872-5338. www.eddiesattic.com. — Mark Gresham
GIFT HORSE, REPTAR, CO CO RI CO Athens’ Gift Horse quartet creates dark, atmospheric songs that waft like thick, black smoke over a desolate landscape — too riveting to be called shoegazer, and too rocking to be called trip-hop. Co Co Ri Co plays slightly faster but jagged pop numbers, while Reptar concocts a clutter of staccato art pop. $5-$7. 9 p.m. Drunken Unicorn. www.thedrunkenunicorn.net. — Chad Radford
THUR/6
BILLY JOE SHAVER, ADLER & HEARNE Called “the best songwriter alive” by Willie Nelson, Shaver keeps cranking out great work. He has been around the block, but always keeps smiling. Talented Texas folkies Adler & Hearne open with their sweet harmonies. $25-$40. 8 p.m. Eddie’s Attic. 404-377-4976. www.eddiesattic.com. — James Kelly
