Deep Sea Diver
After quickly establishing itself as one of Seattle’s best rock bands with 2012’s debut LP History Speaks, Deep Sea Diver finally dropped the long-awaited follow-up, Secrets, in February. Built around Jessica Dobson’s ace guitar work and melodic vocal pep and her husband Peter Mansen’s frenetic drumming, the new record is even tighter than its predecessor. Deep Sea Diver reveals Secrets in Seattle for the first time when it heads to Neumos with Radiation City. Neumos, $15

Eulogy
Which stage of grief is laughter, again? In Eulogy, Kevin Kent plays professional mourner Eleanor Mae at the fictional Bolten’s Funerals.

Ivan and Alyosha 
After emerging from the local Christian music scene nearly a decade ago, Ivan and Alyosha has carved out a nice little niche with its happy indie folk rock tunes that touch on sonic elements of bands like Mumford and Sons, the Lumineers, and the Shins. Last year saw the release of the group's second LP It's All Just Pretend, which only further grew the band's substantial Seattle fan base. Need proof of the demand for Ivan and Alysoha? The band takes over Tractor Tavern for a two day residency that includes headlining nights (with pals Ghost Ship and Silver Torches) and an early all-ages show on Saturday. Tractor Tavern, $10–$15

Morgan Taylor
The Gustafer Yellowgold series is one part children's book and one part kiddie rock concert. The titular sun creature's illustrated stories come to life when accompanied by creator Morgan Taylor's songs. At his two Town Hall shows, the Grammy nominated singer-songwriter will perform material from his latest work Gustafer Yellowgold’s Dark Pie Concerns. It's sure to be a treat for kids and parents alike (keep in mind, Taylor has opened for Wilco), as Gustafer's adventures include him creating a rebellious cake robot called Cakenstein that proclaims, "I punch like Tyson / Rampage like bison / I only want to party." Town Hall, $5
