From pogo-worthy pop-punk and a free outdoor gig showcasing two of the city\u2019s best the folk-rock show of the year, this week holds plenty of potential <\/p>\n

Tuesday, June 30<\/p>\n

Smoking Popes, Lauren Lakis<\/p>\n

Pop-rock institution Smoking Popes will transport you back to the \u201990s, when they signed to Capitol, graced the Clueless soundtrack, and toured with Green Day. Since then, the band has broken up, reformed, shuffled around, moved cities and somehow managed to keep it all together. Yes, it\u2019s a nostalgia trip, but it\u2019s a good one.\u00a0 Lauren Lakis, meanwhile, is one of Austin\u2019s best kept secrets, serving up shoegazey pop with fantastic vocals.\u00a0 $52, 8 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., papertigersatx.com. \u2014 Bill Baird<\/p>\n

Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, John Doe Folk Trio<\/p>\n

The prospect of seeing musical icon Bob Dylan perform at Whitewater with a solid backing bill makes this the show of the year for folk-rock fans. Too bad it\u2019s sold out, but scalped tickets may be floating around somewhere. See you on the black market. Sold out, 8 p.m., Whitewater Amphitheater, 11860 FM 306, New Braunfels, (830) 964-3800, whitewaterrocks.com. \u2014 BB<\/p>\n

Thursday, July 2-Friday, July 3<\/p>\n

Silverada<\/p>\n

Hard-working Silverada has risen through the ranks to become one of the state\u2019s top country acts, so this Gruene Hall double-header represents a true arrival. Known for years as Mike and the Moonpies, the quirky name is gone, and the rebrand has allowed the group to expand their sound beyond Texas honky-tonk into the bigger playing field of Americana. $25, 8 p.m., Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Road, New Braunfels, (830) 606-1281,\u00a0gruenehall.com.\u00a0\u2014 BB<\/p>\n

The 501s, Mockingbird Express<\/p>\n

This free show is part of Summer Night City, Texas Public Radio\u2019s long-running musical showcase, which couples sets by local bands with select vendors and refreshments. This installment features psych-rock kings Mockingbird Express and local country shredders the 501s for great vibes along San Pedro Creek. Free, 6 p.m., Texas Public Radio, 321 W. Commerce St., tpr.org\/summernightcity. \u2014 BB<\/p>\n

Saturday, July 4<\/p>\n

Daniel Romano\u2019s Outfit, Carson McHone, Garrett T. Capps<\/p>\n

What happens when a Canadian absorbs \u201960s rock, old Texas country and \u201870s Southern rock influences? Apparently, you get Daniel Romano, who\u2019s backed by crack band the Outfit. Romano and the Outfit are on a mini-tour promoting their Tom Petty-esque new album Preservers Of The Pearl, which dropped in March. When Romano isn\u2019t performing his own songs with the Outfit, he\u2019s working with the likes of City and Colour, Tool\u2019s Danny Carey and Matty Matheson in the hardcore band Pig Pen. Outfit member Carson McHone, a fine singer-songwriter in his own right, and SA icon-in-the-making Garrett T. Capps will open. $20.66, 9 p.m., Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 455-0233, thelonesomerose.com. \u2014 Brianna Espinoza<\/p>\n
