The Extraordinaires produce an entertaining multi-dimensional sound. Beginning with strolling keys and a dash of lively brass, their inviting lyrical tales transport listeners to a creative environment were musical moments carry plot lines. Rich with flowing instrumental adaption and time-honored vocal harmony, the band captures an inherent flight of the imagination that lifts one’s spirits in vivid infectious fashion. Tonight, at the Pharmacy, those casual airy vibes will be juxtaposed by the scuzzy noise-rocking exploits of Drums Like Machines who industrial sound reaches toward the future. A pair of New York-based ambient rock artists, Spreaders and Matt Luczak, round out an evening that shifts the borders of traditional sound. The Pharmacy (Please contact one of the acts or venue for more info.) 9pm., All Ages –Michael Colavita

Conversations may have dropped the discussions with their "enemies" and directed their energy towards the much-needed after-school music program, Rock to the Future. However, husband and wife combo, Josh and Jessica Craft, still enjoy churning out feel-good, indie-pop ditties, like the ones found on their latest project's debut release Totally Redeem Yourself, which was recorded with Joe Reinhart at Headroom Studios. They'll be opening for Atlanta folk outfit Little Tybee this evening at Bourbon & Branch. Also helping to bring a bit of sunshine on this cloudy day will be whimsical folk-pop trio The Extraordinaires. Bourbon & Branch, 705 N. 2nd St., 8pm, $10, 21+ - H.M. Kauffman

Sometimes making a run to the Pharmacy mid-week can be just what the doctor ordered; such is the case this evening. The Extraordinaires open the show with their patented concoction of horn-laced folky pop. Grabbing a piece of lively nostalgia and offering an updated and at times, quirky augmentation, the band delivers precise compositions with an ever-inviting casually loose feel. That measured layered atmosphere utilizes natural harmonies and an array of instrumentation to create warm breezy invigorating tunes that stick to you as you wander through the reawakened outdoors. A pair of Massachusetts outfits will join in on the fun. The genre-spanning, jazz-infused folk of Mal Devisa pulls you in close, while the space-y, lo-fi rock of Wydyde, a.k.a. Van Kolodin, sets you comfortably adrift. The experimental multimedia musical discovery of Indira Valey, a.k.a. Valerie Perczek, completes the evening as she invites you into her sonic laboratory. The Pharmacy (Please Contact One of the Acts or Venue for More Info), $7, 7pm, All Ages - Michael Colavita

The Extraordinaires already shared a charming music video for their track "Blue Moon," off the band's latest LP Dress for Nasty Weather. And while on tour in Charlottesville, VA, they stopped in at Blue Moon Diner for a lovely live serenade with Garage Video Sessions before feasting on a tasty-looking breakfast. Here is a good argument for why you should allow your children to play with their utensils. Enjoy!
