The Hackensaw Boys Raucously rickety, the Hackensaw Boys’ rip-roaring Americana and roots hoe-downs will make your toes jump out their boots wanting to dance. Trusty and reliable acoustic instruments — banjo, fiddle, and guitar — rack up plenty of street cred, or should I say backwoods cred, and fire up the night with drinks a flowing. $14.

Eyes of the Elders E.O.E. always does something special when they play

at home, and this show is no different. This time the band is bearing

gifts. The first 100 people in the door will get a little something

free. Everybody in the house will be part of the band’s upcoming DVD,

and they’ll be releasing a new EP that night as well. On top of all

that goodness, fans can also help those affected by the tornadoes in

Alabama by donating canned goods. Everybody wins. S.O. Stereo will

open. $10. Neighborhood Theatre. www.neighborhoodtheatre.com. (Mike
