Monday: Jimmy LaFave Tribute with Eliza Gilkyson and friends at Armadillo Christmas Bazaar. Gilkyson has played the annual holiday shopping event many times, but this year is different: She’ll lead a cast of locals paying tribute to LaFave, who died of cancer in May. LaFave’s Night Tribe bandmates John Inmon, Glenn Schuetz and Bobby Kallus will take part along with fiddler Warren Hood, with singers including Gilkyson, Slaid Cleaves, Michael Fracasso, Ray Bonneville, Christine Albert, Jaimee Harris, Betty Soo and Grace Pettis. The show begins at 7 p.m., following sets earlier in the day by MilkDrive at 3 p.m. and Warren Hood at noon. An $8 ticket is good for all day. Palmer Events Center, 900 Barton Springs Road. armadillobazaar.com.

Monday: Julien Baker, Half Waif, Adam Torres at Emo’s. A member of the Memphis band Forrister, Baker issued a solo debut in 2015 that caught the ear of prominent indie label Matador Records, which released her follow-up “Turn Out the Lights” this fall. At 22, she’s one of the most arresting new American artists to arrive in years, a writer of deeply emotional material set against graceful, minimalist guitar and piano arrangements. Brooklyn’s Half Waif and Austin singer-songwriter Adam Torres open. $18. 7 p.m. doors. 2015 E. Riverside Drive. emosaustin.com. — P.B.
