[SOUL] + FRI., AUG. 9
Jesse Dee impressed in June at WYEP's Summer Music Festival; tonight, the Boston-bred blue-eyed-soul singer returns to the area for a show at Johnstown's Peoples Natural Gas Park. The man's got a set of pipes and a healthy respect for Van Morrison, which, in combination, can — and do — go a long way. If you missed him the first time, he's worth the Friday-night jaunt; if you caught him earlier in the summer, you probably don't need to be convinced of that. Andy Mulkerin 6:30 p.m. 90 Johns St., Johnstown. $12. All ages. 814-539-1889 or www.floodcitymusic.com
[COUNTRY] + FRI., AUG. 9
Hannah Aldridge came up in an atmosphere conducive to becoming a country singer: Her father, Walt Aldridge, is a hit songwriter who worked with many of the biggest names in country music's previous generation (Reba McEntire, Travis Tritt). Now the younger Aldridge has set out on her own — as both a singer and songwriter. The Muscle Shoals native is anticipating the release of her next full-length, Born to Be Broken, in the fall, and is on tour now, stopping tonight at the Center of Harmony, in Harmony. AM 8 p.m. 253 Mercer St., Harmony. $15-20; under 16 admitted free. All ages. 570-294-6450 or www.thecenterofharmony.com
[DOOM COUNTRY] + SAT., AUG. 10
Slim Cessna is one of Pittsburgh's hidden gems: The leader of Slim Cessna's Auto Club moved here about a decade ago, and occasionally plays shows solo, but largely flies under the radar day to day. Until he comes back with his full band — at which time all bets are off. The legendary doom-country-rock-gospel ensemble plays an unforgettable live show that keeps fans and newcomers alike on their feet. Tonight, the Auto Club plays the Rex Theater with Slim's son's band, The Sterling Sisters. AM 9 p.m. 1602 E. Carson St., South Side. $12-15. All ages. 412-381-6811 or www.rextheater.com
[ELECTRONIC] + SAT., AUG. 10

[INDIE ROCK] + TUE., AUG. 13
Old Baby has an impressive family tree: Members of Young Widows and Shipping News contribute to the sound of the Louisville, Ky.-based band.
