Sunday: Morningbird

21-plus show at 9 p.m. at The Plough & Stars, 912 Massachusetts Ave., Mid-Cambridge near Central Square. Free. The bill includes The Sidemen and The YeahTones.

This is Morningbird’s second appearance on This Week in Music, following a stellar performance at Thunder Road in June.

Monday: Black Tie Stereo

18-plus show at The Middle East Corner, 480 Massachusetts Ave., Central Square. Tickets are $5, and doors open at 9 p.m. The bill includes Railbard and Sheldoncole.

Black Tie Stereo’s sound often walks the line between rock and power pop, reminiscent of Train, Weezer and The Killers. Led by frontman Stephen Murphy, the group is one of the premiere ascending pop acts on the East Coast.

Tuesday: This Wild Life

16-plus show at 7 p.m. at The Sinclair, 52 Church St., Harvard Square. Tickets start at $15, and the bill includes A Will Away and Dry Jacket.

This Wild Life are an acoustic rock duo that, much like Black Tie Stereo, blend elements of pop and rock influences to forge a modern sound. The band is Kevin Jordan (vocals, guitar) and Anthony Del Grosso (guitar).

Wednesday: Arum Rae

All-ages show at 8 p.m. at Club Passim, 47 Palmer St., Harvard Square. Tickets are $15. Ben Rabb opens.

Brooklyn singer-songwriter Arum Rae has a sound highlighted by powerful vocals influenced by jazz singers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone, as well as a variety of artists including Bob Dylan and Outkast. Perhaps the most apt comparison is to the late Amy Winehouse.

Thursday: Thurston Moore Group

18-plus show at 9 p.m. at The Sinclair, 52 Church St., Harvard Square (doors at 8 p.m.). Tickets range from $20 to $23.

The Thurston Moore Group plays alternative and experimental rock tunes, grounded by a strong rhythm section and the pulsing riffs of guitarist and vocalist Moore. We’ve heard this before from Moore – in Sonic Youth.

Friday: Conor Oberst

All-ages show at 7 p.m. at House of Blues, 15 Lansdowne St., Boston. Tickets range from $29 to $70. Hop Along opens.

Reason enough to cross the river. Former Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst has built a successful solo career on music spanning Southern rock, modern indie and acoustic Americana. Lyrically, Oberst focuses on “uncommon insight, detail and political awareness” (if he does say so himself).

Saturday: Mamma’s Marmalade

All-ages show  at 4 p.m. at Atwood’s Tavern, 877 Cambridge St., East Cambridge near Inman Square. Free, though a $5 donation is suggested.

Mamma’s Marmalade is a progressive bluegrass band formed in Amherst in 2014 combining a traditional folk instrumentation with modern influences and a self-proclaimed “exciting new energy.” The quintet consists of Lily Sexton (fiddle, vocals), Rich Hennessy (banjo, vocals), Sean Davis (guitar, vocals) and brothers Mitch Bordage (mandolin, vocals), and Curtis Bordage (bass).
