CLEM SNIDE, JASON WHITE — See Clem Snide in Record Reviews. Like a book of children’s fables, Jason White’s debut album Shades of Gray has a way of couching meaningful themes and experiences in an easy-to-swallow presentation. Fortunately, his likeable pop melodies and hooks never get in the way of his capacity for crafty and profound songwriting. Smith’s Olde Bar (Hutchinson)

DAVE DAULT, SUE WITTY, MELANIE HAMMETT — A trio of the local scene’s most unjustly overlooked talent gets the spotlight when the veteran scene survivors share a writers-in-the-round showcase. Dave Dault, taking an introspective solo detour from his Parks and Empty Spaces group, headlines over the appropriately named Sue Witty and the earthy denim-and-dust sounds of the colorful, well-traveled troubadour Melanie Hammett. Eddie’s Attic (Nicoll)

HARVEST MOON BLUESFEST — Chip’s sixth annual Labor Day weekend music festival wraps up today with performances by Living Water (1:15 p.m.), the Randall Bramblett Band (2:45 p.m.; see Earshot, p. 85) and Sean Costello (4:15 p.m.).
