San Antonio\u2019s live-music calendar is all over the map this week \u2014 in the best possible way. From Kany Garc\u00eda\u2019s affecting Latin pop and Thee Sacred Souls\u2019 throwback R&B to Sevendust\u2019s metallic crunch and Sweeping Promises\u2019 punky exuberance, there\u2019s much worth scouting out.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, Sept. 9<\/p>\n

Kany Garc\u00eda<\/p>\n

Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany Garc\u00eda\u2019s poignant, melodic and deeply affecting songs seem to transcend language. Garc\u00eda has a deep and dedicated English-speaking fanbase and numerous Grammys to prove it. Her recent Tiny Desk Concert for NPR went viral, bringing new fans into the fold. $48 and up, 8 p.m., Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (888) 811-5040, us.atgtickets.com. \u2014 Bill Baird<\/p>\n

Thursday, Sept. 10<\/p>\n

Drink the Sea<\/p>\n

Superstar collaboration bands sometimes come across as crass money grabs by long-forgotten rock dinosaurs, but Drink the Sea seems legit. Featuring members of R.E.M., Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age, the group seems remarkably grounded in good songwriting and solid musicianship. They augment their sound from time to time with unusual instrumentation such as the oud and sitar, which deepens the vibe with a sense of exotic mystery. $20, 8 p.m., Stable Hall, 307 Pearl Parkway,\u00a0stablehall.com. \u2014 BB<\/p>\n

Sevendust, Theory of a Deadman<\/p>\n

Sevendust sits in a sweet spot between rock and metal, and the band also benefits from frontman Lajon Witherspoon\u2019s soaring vocals. Meanwhile, many have written off Theory of a Deadman\u2019s alternative country-rock sensibilities as \u201cbutt rock,\u201d perhaps because the act was first signed to Nickelback vocalist Chad Kroeger\u2019s record label. $55.07-$92.03, 7 p.m., Boeing Center at Tech Port, 3331 General Hudnell Drive, (210) 600-3699, boeingcentertechport.com. \u2014 Brianna Espinoza <\/p>\n

Thee Sacred Souls, La Lom, The Womack Sisters<\/p>\n

The San Diego trio Thee Sacred Souls is known for a soothing brand of throwback soul and R&B grooves, a sound that makes a fitting post-summer salve. The group jumped from near obscurity thanks to an assist from Gabe Roth of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings and emerged as a leading light in the new soul revival. For its part, La Lom blends Mexican, Cuban and Peruvian into its take on classic rock and soul, and the Womack Sisters are the nieces of legendary soul man Bobby Womack. $35.20-$76.90, 6:30 p.m., Freeman Coliseum, 3201 E. Houston St., (210) 226-1177,\u00a0freemancoliseum.com. \u2014 Danny Cervantes<\/p>\n

Friday, Sept. 11<\/p>\n

Molecular Steve, Hacienda<\/p>\n

Austin\u2019s Molecular Steve is an intriguing multi-generational nine-piece band that crafts muscular, wry pop-rock with a ton of heart and a bit of swagger. The Austin act really seems to be hitting its stride right now. San Antonio indie-rockers Hacienda have been laying low for a few years but remain one of the brightest lights to emerge from the city\u2019s mid-aughts scene. $10, 9 p.m., Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 455-0233, thelonesomerose.com. \u2014 BB<\/p>\n

Saturday, Sept. 12<\/p>\n

Sweeping Promises<\/p>\n

Sweeping Promises bash out refreshingly direct punk rock embellished with a healthy heaping of singalong pop bliss. Which is to say this group is out ahead of almost anyone doing the proper \u201crock band\u201d thing right now. Fittingly, Sweeping Promises\u2019 newest album, You Say I Romanticize, is out on the venerable Sub Pop label \u2014 one of the best that\u2019s ever existed. $21, 8 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary\u2019s St.,\u00a0papertigersatx.com. \u2014 BB<\/p>\n
