BENEFIT FOR CASA FOR CHILDREN – CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children, to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in inappropriate group or foster homes. Volunteers stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer will be the one constant adult presence in their lives.–All donations will go directly to CASA to ensure the children’s needs are met. To volunteer you can visit WWW.casaforchildren.org
Tickets are $7. Doors open at 9pm.
The Black Keys at Phillips Arena
It’s too facile to call the Black Keys counterparts of the White Stripes: they share several surface similarities — their names are color-coded, they hail from the Midwest, they’re guitar-and-drum blues-rock duos — but the Black Keys are their own distinct thing, a tougher, rougher rock band with a purist streak that never surfaces in the Stripes. But that’s not to say that the Black Keys are blues traditionalists: even on their 2002 debut, The Big Come Up, they covered the Beatles’ psychedelic classic “She Said She Said,” indicating a fascination with sound and texture that would later take hold on such latter-day albums as 2008’s Attack & Release, where guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney teamed up with sonic architect Danger Mouse. In between those two records, the duo established the Black Keys as a rock & roll band with a brutal, primal force, and songwriters of considerable depth.
Tickets are $43.70-$89.05. Show starts at 8pm.

Floating Action / White Violet w/ Special Guests at 529
Seth Kauffman knows the galvanizing power of Black Mountain. There in his small studio, tucked away in the shadow of Mount Mitchell, he strives to conjure the aural magic that recording gurus have followed around the planet; spiritual moments of song that reach deep into the listener’s psyche. Such as the sound of untrained human voices locking together in unique harmony. Flashes that elicit a feeling akin to the fervor millions of adolescents experienced the first time they heard the woolly opening riff to “Satisfaction.”
Tickets are $7. Doors open at 9pm.
