Onward, Etc.
Onward, Etc. started in Yankton, N.D., with folksy singer/songwriter Rosco Wuestewald's vision to create a musical collective by traveling the world. KC Olsen (violin) and Tom Pearson (percussion) are the only permanent fixtures in this ever-expanding project that picks up music partners nationwide. With guest musicians joining sporadically depending on location, each show becomes a spontaneous mix of artists and instruments—a fleeting moment to be savored. The "rowdy folk" trio's newly released second album, Sonder On—released in March—is a joyous romp through foot-stomping, brassy anthems like "Crazy Horse" punctuated with string-heavy, soul-catching ballads such as "Kings & Queens" that quickly steal your heart. (Deann Armes) Tuesday, 4.15 @ The Woodshed, 60 E. 800 South, 10 p.m., $5, TheWoodshedSLC.com
Big Scary
Australian indie-pop duo Big Scary wraps you in its minimalist, often ethereal musical landscapes. Joanna Syme's simple, consistent drum beats and Tom Iansek's thoughtful piano sequences create a stylized sound that speaks to the musical intuition of The White Stripes while adopting the emotional peaks of Bon Iver and Grizzly Bear. Big Scary's second album, Not Art—released in 2013—won Australia's prestigious Coopers AMP award. Receiving the award, Iansek told Music.com, was "such a huge encouragement to know that these basic feelings and intuitions of ours do strike a chord with people who listen to and love music." Say Hi is also on the bill. (Carly Fetzer) Tuesday, April 15 @ Kilby Court, 741 S. Kilby Court (330 West), 8 p.m., $12, KilbyCourt.com; limited no-fee tickets available at CityWeeklyStore.com
