Classic rock may be a big draw for SA music fans this week as Daryl Hall — half of hit making duo Hall & Oates — and horn-driven act Chicago bring their tours to town. But don’t sleep on other worthwhile options, which range from indie-country to post-punk to New Orleans jazz.

Daryl Hall, Glenn Tilbrook

Rock Hall of Famer Daryl Hall continues to grow beyond his rock and soul heyday of the late ’70s and early ’80s. Over the past decade, the former Hall & Oates singer opened Daryl’s House, a restaurant and performance venue that sprung from his groundbreaking webcast and YouTube series of the same name. This past summer, Hall released his sixth studio album D under the eye of fellow Rock Hall of Famer Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. Squeeze lead singer Glenn Tilbrook will open the night, having been one of the myriad performers to play with Hall on Daryl’s House. Be sure and check out the Current’s recent interview with Hall for insights on what to expect from the show. $59.50 and up, 7:30 p.m., Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (210) 226-3333, majesticempire.com. — Danny Cervantes

Jeffrey Silverstein, Cactus Lee, Garrett T. Capps

Pacific Northwest transplant Jeffrey Silverstein is at the forefront of the new indie-country vanguard, adopting the elements of the genre’s sound but not necessarily playing into the “country boy” persona. Think Beachwood Sparks, or reaching further back, the Flying Burrito Brothers — and with a heavy helping of David Berman’s Silver Jews. Cosmic country with an English degree, perhaps? Whatever it is, it’s groovy. Cactus Lee and Garrett T. Capps mine a similar vein from their respective homebases of Austin and San Antonio. $15, 8 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary’s St., papertigersatx.com. — Bill Baird

Actors, Total Chroma

Vancouver post-punk quartet Actors first started releasing singles in 2012, including its signature song “Post Traumatic Love,” and cultivated a dedicated fanbase by choosing not to drop its debut album, It Will Come To You, until 2018. Frontman Jason Corbett cites David Bowie as a major influence, and Actors’ music gleams with his sense of confidence and creativity. $20, 7 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary’s St., papertigersatx.com. — DC

Hickoids, Sons of Hercules, Stevie Tombstone

San Antonio-Austin legacy cowpunk band Hickoids is celebrating “41 years of chaos in the cornfield.” During that long, strange trip, the band’s shared the stage with “everyone from Nine Inch Nails to The Old 97s, Black Flag to the Black Lips, The Flaming Lips to The Flamin’ Groovies, Roky Erickson to Lucinda Williams and a whole lotta folks in between,” according to frontman Jeff Smith, who owns San Antonio label Saustex Records. Another veteran Alamo City act — timeless garage rockers the Sons of Hercules — will join Hickoids on the bill, which also includes the true grit and flat pickin’ of troubadour Stevie Tombstone. $10 (advance), $15 (door), 8 p.m., Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary’s St., (210) 455-0233, thelonerosesa.com. — Stephanie Koithan

Spud Sims, Jake Penrod

Houston-based rockabilly act Spud Sims & The Beltways is a throwback in more ways than one. Visually and sonically, Spud harkens to bygone days of Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper, greased-back hair, going steady and milkshakes at the pharmacy. Austin classic-country performer Jake Penrod opens the evening. If your toe isn’t tapping at the very least, you might be dead. $10, 9:30 p.m., Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary’s St., (210) 455-0233, thelonerosesa.com. — SK

Chicago

Classic-rock act Chicago had a fascinating, if disappointing, trajectory. The horn-driven rock ensemble started out as Chicago Transit Authority and toured with Jimi Hendrix, who calling the group’s lead guitarist, Terry Kath, his favorite six-stringer. The stunning “Free Form Guitar” from Chicago’s first LP could help explain that admiration. However, after Kath’s tragic death, the band devolved into ’80s power-ballad cheeseballs, and some of those tunes even have their charms. Live, Chicago remain a solid group of performers capable of delivering hits from both sides of its career. $150 and up, 7:30 p.m., Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (210) 226-3333, majesticempire.com. — BB
