The opening weeks of a new year often bring a slowdown in live music shows. Not the case here, folks. In addition to several strong locally focused bills, former Smiths frontman Morrissey is scheduled to play the Boeing Center at Tech Port, creating a will-he-or-won\u2019t-he tension over whether he stands up SA audience members for a fifth time. <\/p>\n

Thursday, Jan. 8<\/p>\n

Any Color You Like, Mr. Pidge, Daniel Miller and the Red Roses, Et Al<\/p>\n

This outstanding local lineup of underground country and left-field lo-fi Latin sounds should merit attention no matter where it\u2019s taking place. But since it\u2019s part of series of SA-focused showcases organized by Stable Hall, one of the city\u2019s best venues, it seems like a surefire winner. Any Color You Like explodes with youthful guitar-driven energy and a vocal style verging on emo. Mr. Pidge plies a winsome take on indie-country that features dueling female vocals, pedal steel, mellow sax and an absorbing vibe. Daniel Miller and the Red Roses, meanwhile, offer a more rockin\u2019 take on alt-country. Rounding out the lineup, Et Al creates mysteriously lo-fi and enticing Latin-tinged folk and indie-rock. $17, 8 p.m., Stable Hall, 307 Pearl Parkway,\u00a0stablehall.com. \u2014Bill Baird<\/p>\n

Friday, Jan. 9<\/p>\n

mypilotis, Roshii, Stillbefriends<\/p>\n

Another locally focused bill from Stable Hall, this one appears to elevate prime San Antonio up-and-comers. Chesca Umeno, who fronts the indie rockers mypilotis, cited Dayglow and Ginger Root among her influences during a recent interview. Roshii is a math-rock band that borders on dream pop. Another alternative rock act Stillbefriends rounds out the lineup. $14.29, 8 p.m., Stable Hall, 307 Pearl Parkway,\u00a0stablehall.com. \u2014 Danny Cervantes<\/p>\n

Righteous Intonation, Jacob Kyle, Autumn Michelle<\/p>\n

This local roster amounts to a roots-music exploration by way of San Antone. Truth-telling string band Righteous Intonation, who headline the show, are bringing the \u201cAmerican frontier, reborn in sound.\u201d Citing illustrious influences including Marty Robbins, Townes Van Zandt, Doc Watson and Tony Rice, these troubadours ain\u2019t messin\u2019 around. Blues man Jacob Kyle shares the lineup, looking like Willie Nelson but playing like other great Texans such as Lightnin\u2019 Hopkins and Mance Lipscomb. Though he often plays as a one-man band, Kyle will be joined by his backing band The Blues Bonnets. Singer-songwriter Autumn Michelle opens the evening. Free, The Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary\u2019s St,,\u00a0(210) 455-0233, thelonesomerose.com \u2014 Stephanie Koithan<\/p>\n

Semper Acerbus, ZombieKing, Overlay, Kate Angel, Bad Habit, Dreamstereo<\/p>\n

Throat-punching metalcore may not be the first musical genre that comes to mind when one thinks of the sleepy South Texas town of Del Rio, but that\u2019s just what Semper Acerbus plays. This packed lineup celebrates the release of Following Omens, Semper Acerbus\u2019 third album. For the uninitiated, the group has been hitting the road hard, racking up numerous festival appearances plus opening slots for acts ranging from Fear Factory and Soulfly to SA\u2019s own Upon a Burning Body. $14.50, 6 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., papertigersatx.com. \u2014\u00a0Sanford Nowlin<\/p>\n

Saturday, Jan. 10<\/p>\n

Morrissey\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, we\u2019re really doing this again? This sold-out Morrissey performance is a makeup for his cancellation in May. Fans of the former Smiths frontman already know the odds of him actually turning up are less than ideal. We\u2019re guessing plenty of the same fans have been willing to overlook his no-show rep, just as they\u2019ve been willing to overlook his anti-immigrant views. Either way, here\u2019s hoping for the best. Sold out, 8 p.m., Boeing Center at Tech Port, 3331 General Hudnell Drive, (210) 600-3699, boeingcentertechport.com. \u2014 DC<\/p>\n

Summer Dean, Marley Hale<\/p>\n

For those who\u2019d rather bet on a sure thing than gamble on Morrissey, Gruene Hall is hosting a solid lineup including two of the nation\u2019s best up-and-coming songstresses. Summer Dean has distinguished herself as a true performer who puts on one hell of a show with a hot five-piece behind her. Balancing bravado and vulnerability, Dean oscillates between honky tonkin\u2019 and baring her soul via tears-in-your-beer ballads. Dean also continues the great outlaw country tradition of spinning a great yarn between songs \u2014\u00a0and with a dash of humor to boot. Marley Hale serves as a captivating opener with angelic vocals and forlorn folk-country vulnerability. $25, 9 p.m., Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Road, New Braunfels, (830) 606-1281, gruenehall.com \u2014 SK<\/p>\n
