After 11 albums, indie-rocker Damien Jurado is a Seattle music vet. His latest release, Brothers and Sisters of the Eternal Sun, picks up where its predecessor, Maraqopa, left off, with the album’s main character returning to Maraqopa after a car accident to find a group of people—the eponymous brothers and sisters—waiting for the second coming of Christ. There’s a groove in the music that adds a bit of lightness to, but doesn’t take away from, the heavy lyrical content. This show finds Jurado returning to the space where he recorded a few Brothers and Sisters bonus tracks with the Sisters of the Eternal Son choir. Fremont Abbey, 4272 Fremont Ave. N., 414-8325, fremontabbey.com. Through Friday. 8 p.m. SOLD OUT. AZARIA C. PODPLESKY

When it comes to bluegrass, it doesn’t get much better than Colorado’s Hot Rize. Formed in 1978, the quartet began blazing a new path, recalling the traditional Appalachian sound while creating a modern blend of bluegrass and folk. The band broke up in 1990 and reformed in 2002 with a few reunions in between, though its latest, When I’m Free, is the group’s first batch of new music in 24 years. But Hot Rize has not lost its touch. When I’m Free features the contemporary take on traditional bluegrass that made it so popular to begin with. With Cahalen Morrison and Eli West. The Neptune, 1303 N.E. 45th St. 682-1414, stgpresents.org/neptune. 8 p.m. $37.50 adv./$40 DOS. All ages. ACP
