It's a holiday week, meaning there are fewer live music events on the calendar than usual. But if you're staying in town, we've found a few local shows for your enjoyment.

Act: Vinyl

Location: The Addition  

Start Time: 8pm

Price: $10

Originally conceived in the Bay Area 14 years ago as an instrumental project, Vinyl has become a shining example of musicianship and collaboration. The players share a long and storied history together, developing into a tight ensemble. On this particular night at The Addition, the group will perform a tribute to James Brown with assistance from Fred Ross (best known for fronting his own eponymous project). Given their reputation (and the ticket price), Vinyl is certainly one to check out.

Act: The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus (and friends) 

Start Time: 5pm, 7pm, 9pm

Price: $25-35

The famed chorus’ 25th annual Christmas Eve concert will feature traditional favorites and some special guests. Highlights will include a world premiere by popular choral composer Ola Gjeilo and performances by Donna Sachet and Lisa Vroman. Santa, elves and reindeer will be involved, along with a 1980s-themed nativity scene and ugly sweater parade. The 9pm show will also include ASL interpretations.

Act: Reignwolf

Location: The Independent

Start Time: 8:30pm

Price: $15

Jordan Cook has truly embraced his spirit animal. Known to the masses as Reignwolf, this young troubadour has made a lasting impression on the blues rock circuit in several cities across the country. Whether he has a full band behind him or not, Reignwolf infuses a unique energy and passion into his music that is simply infectious. This guy can back up his own guitar work while pumping out rhythms on a drumset, making him an extremely unique act to see live. 

Act: Blind Melon

Location: Great American Music Hall

Start Time: 8pm

Price: $26

Blind Melon is responsible for at least one of the most recognizable songs of all time (1993's "No Rain"). The near-instant, enduring ubiquity of that song kept the group in the hearts of many for years, even throughout the tumultuous history of the band that includes the overdose and death of original lead singer Shannon Hoon, as well as the departure and return of his replacement Travis Warren. Although the last new record from Blind Melon was released in 2008, the group still retains a loyal fan base, and now brings its sound back to San Francisco once again.

Act: Questlove

Location: Public Works

Start Time: 9pm

Price: $15-30

Finally, it's not quite live music, but we still wanted to let you know that Questlove will be spinning a DJ set at Public Works this Saturday night. The Roots frontman (and bandleader for Jimmy Fallon) will be joined on the bill by DJs Gordo Cabeza and Deejay Theory.
