San Antonio music fans are in for a diverse array of shows this week as well-known artists such as Citizen Cope and the Arc Angels swing through town. Meanwhile, talented but less-familiar names including Beth Hart and Cooper Greenberg are also expected to make a big noise. Check out the week's options below.
Thursday, April 21
Arc Angels
Arc Angels coalesced in the early '90s around emerging blues-rock hotshots Charlie Sexton and Doyle Bramhall II, who were backed by Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon, formerly Stevie Ray Vaughn's rhythm section. Arc Angels struck paydirt with a self-titled debut LP in 1992 before splintering the following year. They have reunited infrequently since, though without Shannon, before this their recent decision to get back together on what appears to be a more permanent basis. $45, 7 p.m., Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Road, New Braunfels, (830) 606-1281, gruenehall.com. — Mike McMahan
Beth Hart
Edgy blues singer-songwriter Beth Hart uses her voice to convey melodic yet gritty tunes akin to those of Amy Winehouse. Given her emotional delivery, it's little surprise she's topped the Billboard Blues Chart six times and works with guitar ace Joe Bonamassa, who can afford to be picky about which vocalists he chooses to collaborate with. $39-$49, 8 p.m., Aztec Theatre, 104 N. St. Mary's St., (210) 812-4355, theaztectheatre.com. — Brianna Espinoza
Friday, April 22
Cooper Greenberg and Favorite Son
Coming on the heels of last year's excellent Silverbelly LP, SA's Cooper Greenberg plans to record this gig for a live album with his band Favorite Son. Expect special guests Patrick Marr and Nick Pfeiler, Greenberg's wistful country-meets-indie stylings and some guitar fireworks. $12-$45, 9 p.m., Sam's Burger Joint, 330 E. Grayson St., (210) 223-2830, samsburgerjoint.com. — MM
Jerry Cantrell
Whatever Alice in Chains guitarist and singer Jerry Cantrell needs to "Atone" for may be revealed on his tour away from the rest of the band. It's been years since Cantrell has released any solo work, but he ended that 19-year hiatus with a new album last October. Support comes from other solo artists Lola Colette and Phillip-Michael Scales. $47.50-$150, 8 p.m., Aztec Theatre, 104 N. St. Mary's St., (210) 812-4355, theaztectheatre.com. — BE
Saturday, April 23
Eve 6
Alt-rock band Eve 6 had hit singles "Inside Out" and "Leech" in 1998 and even made the late-night rounds at that time, shaking hands with Jay Leno, David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel. They broke up after that promising run, but the law states that all rock bands must reunite. So, Eve 6 released the EP Grim Value in June of 2021 and publicly supported Neil Young earlier this year in his Joe Rogan-fueled feud with Spotify. $23-$89, 7 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary's St., papertigersatx.com. — MM
Tanner Usrey
Independent country-rock singer-songwriter Tanner Usrey has a busy schedule right now, having dates all over the Southwest through August. The Prosper, Texas native has racked up an impressive 2.5 million online streams, and his song "The Light" even popped up in Yellowstone's fourth season finale, making him a Texas country artist to keep an eye on. $15, 8:30 p.m., John T. Floore's Country Store, 14492 Old Bandera Road, (210) 695-8827, liveatfloores.com. — Enrique Bonilla
Sunday, April 24
Citizen Cope
The handle of singer-songwriter Clarence Greenwood, Citizen Cope specializes in chill, positivity-driven music that blends folk, blues, hip-hop and other styles. While Greenwood is primarily known for his own albums, his compositions have also been recorded by Carlos Santana and Dido, among others. $29.50-$55, 7 p.m., Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, 100 Auditorium Circle, (210) 223-8624, tobincenter.org. — BE
