10. The 2nd Annual Dolly Parton Birthday Party Tribute Show

I guess I’m biased in writing this because Dolly Parton is my mom, so I love her regardless of what she does, but y’all should head out to Conor Byrne for this show and make it into a real DollyParlooza. Some local musicians are taking over her birthday for a night of covers and tribute acts with what had better be a metric fuck-ton of rhinestones, Aqua Net, and fringed candy-pink nubuck. In case you were somehow unaware, Parton is a true national treasure, a sparkling gem, a legit role model for working womxn, and an enduring voice for classic Americana and down-home pop, who will, I hope, continue to strum a lap harp on her lilac fountain cloud formation forever and ever and won’t ever die because I honestly wouldn’t be able to take that shit.

(First Hill, free)

33. Tiny Vipers, Panabrite, Pink Void

Tiny Vipers, as I first encountered her, was a singer-songwriter of the most plaintive variety, with soft, steely compassion streaming out of every pore. In the years since her 2007 album Hands Across the Void, she has banked hard toward the realm of experimental electronica, trading her dark cave of folksy sentiments for a gauzy structure of synth work, built like a honeycomb of operatic whispers. Each hexagon of this new space in 2017’s Laughter holds a different piece of sentimental information about the emotional labor Tiny Vipers has done to get to this point. It’s a weird trip, but it’s worth taking to get to know her better. KIM SELLING

FRIDAY-SATURDAY

38. Gala Bent and Justin Gibbens

Gala Bent's paintings and objects combine organic shapes, cell-like structures, geometric planes, and gradients of earth colors. The Michigan-born artist's new show, Particle Playlist, should continue her dual fascination with biological sculptural detail and abstract geometry. Alongside her show, Justin Gibbens's Sea Change depicts figural, macroscopic fauna: His whales and dolphins seem realistic at first glance, but human iconography, symbol, and expression intrude upon their bodies. A sperm whale sports a cartoon of an angry fanged face on its snout; an orca flops on its back as if it's playing dead. Both float in a white, contextless void like illustrations in a science textbook. Gibbens, with sad wit, reveals marine mammals as we humans are transforming them.
