Whether you’re in the mood to party, dance or just kick back and listen, San Antonio’s live music options this week are plentiful and diverse. Let’s jump right in.
Wednesday, July 9
Buscabulla
Puerto Rican group Buscabella, a Bad Bunny collaborator, wows crowds with a vibrant fusion of tropical synth-pop, salsa, reggaetón, bachata and experimental electronic sounds. Formed in 2011 and signed to the influential Domino label, Buscabulla keeps its music danceable and fun while offering just enough experimentation to keep things interesting. $29, 7 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary’s St., papertigersatx.com. — Danny Cervantes
Magoo
Denver-based Magoo blends traditional bluegrass instrumentation with contemporary jam band-style improvisation and three-part vocal harmonies. Bill Monroe it ain’t, but the dudes can rip. $17, 8 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary’s St., papertigersatx.com. — Bill Baird
Saturday, July 12
Tank, Jacquees, Dej Loaf, Levelle
Even if you don’t know R&B singer Tank, you know his collaborators and the artists he’s produced — a list that includes Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Chris Brown and plenty more. Billed as “Tank and Friends,” this star-studded tour showcases classic soul-meets-modern R&B production for one hell of a dance party. $31, 7 p.m., Boeing Center at Tech Port, 3331 General Hudnell Drive, (210) 600-3699, boeingcentertechport.com. — BB
Tera Ferna, Mikey Vibe, Fancy & the Fortunate Sons
San Antonio’s Tera Ferna describes itself as a “rock and soul collective,” which is built around the smooth vocals and pop sensibilities of singer-songwriter Matthew Charles. However, the group’s latest project is decidedly more country. Tera Ferna’s latest single, “Friends,” released in April, offers a cowboy’s bitter rumination on betrayal that sounds something like Midland meets Silverada. Indie and Americana singer-songwriter Mikey Vibe will debut a new backing band at the show. The two headliners will be joined by Fancy & the Fortunate Sons, San Antonio’s answer to the question “What if Patsy Cline fronted CCR?” Giddyup. $10, 9 p.m., 502 Bar, 502 Embassy Oaks, (210) 257-8125, 502bar.com. — Stephanie Koithan
James McMurtry
James McMurtry, a one-time San Antonian, is known for his literary approach to Americana, which he owes at least partially to his famous father Larry, author of Lonesome Dove and The Last Picture Show. While that’s a big pair of shoes to step into, the singer-songwriter has managed to forge his own path. He’s worked with modern folk, country and Americana greats while sticking to his strengths: masterful storytelling, adept character studies and bold takes on the politics of the day. $22, 7 p.m., John T. Floore’s Country Store, 14492 Old Bandera Road, Helotes, liveatfloores.com. — BB
