The whirlwind music season is in full swing with most venues hopping nightly.

Here is a roundup of the happenings as of press time.

Tonight, it's Blitzen Trapper, which closed the street for SolFest this spring. Back then, Trapper's Marty Marquis told the Express that the band has played together for more than a decade and has "indulged in a wide variety of different styles of music so our sets are far-ranging affairs featuring everything from hushed folk music to deconstructed funk to howling guitar expositions. Expect to be entertained." Tickets for the 9 p.m. show at Ketchum's Whiskey Jacques' are $10 in advance and $13 at the door. Visit
