Harmon Brewery and Eatery Tacoma - Downtown. Rich Wetzel's Groovin' Higher Orchestra. All Ages. 9 pm. NC.

• Rich Wetzel and his Groovin Higher Orchestra don't mess around. When they get a chance to dole out the live jazz to what's sure to be a packed room Saturday night at the Harmon, you damn well better believe Wetzel and Co. are going to deliver. It's what they do. They're like the big-band jazz equivalent of an Under Armour commercial. Wetzel's been tooting that horn of his for a long freakin' time. He must protect this jazz house!

The New Frontier Lounge Tacoma - Dome District. The Gentlemen Gluttons, Deep Sea Diver, The Little Penguins, The Fling. 8 pm.

• Keeping in mind that I am well aware of how simultaneously reductive and frightening this will come off, let me just suggest that I think the Gentlemen Gluttons sound kind of like a bluegrass version of the Decemberists. No, come back! Of course, this comparison is entirely unfair. Yes, while it's true that the Gentlemen Gluttons having a love for outmoded language and a desire to spin yarns about iron strikes and ghost towns that does resemble the ethos of the Decemberists, their reliance on banjos, mandolins and fiddles, along with the lead singer's almost Calvin Johnson-esque baritone, establishes them as something stranger and more unique than such comparisons can do justice. Their self-titled three-song EP drowns in the kind of dusty doom and dread that seems only accessible by banjo. - Rev. Adam McKinney
