Heavily inspired by Bob Dylan and Neil Young, Seattle’s Fleet Foxes are kind of neuvo-folk.
Their music is full of rich harmonies and free-flowing, acoustic-driven melodies.
The band is one of the latest indie groups to emerge from SubPop, the Seattle record label that helped bring Nirvana and Soundgarden international fame.
Actually, the Fleet Foxes have developed a strong following overseas, some say stronger in Europe than in the U.S.
But in their hometown, they’ve been known to shine on stage.
The tour is part of the launch of their much-anticipated second album, “Helplessness Blues,” which is due out Tuesday.
7:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday; The Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave., Seattle; $33; stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.
Another SubPop band to emerge from the Seattle rock scene is The Head and The Heart.
Like Fleet Foxes, it, too, pays homage to the folk harmonies of the ’60s in its own style.
It’s a band that is rising fast to stardom and worth checking out in either of two shows in Seattle this weekend.
9 p.m. today with Lemolo and The Devil Whale; Showbox at the Market, 1426 First Ave., Seattle; $14 in advance, $16 at the door; ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.
8 p.m. Saturday with Grand Hallway; The Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave., Seattle; $16 in advance, $18 at the door; stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.
Chris Cornell is a Seattle rock ‘n’ roll icon who rose to fame in the grunge era.
The lead singer of Soundgarden, Cornell is regarded as one of the best heavy metal singers alive. The heavy metal magazine, “Hit Parader,” ranked Cornell fourth on their top-100 singers list.
Even though Soundgarden reunited last year after a 12-year hiatus, Cornell is touring solo (and acoustic) and drawing from the entirety of his career’s catalogue.
Fans can expect songs from Cornell’s stints with Temple of the Dog, the band that later gave birth to Pearl Jam. He’s also likely to break out “You Know My Name,” the song from the 2006 James Bond movie “Casino Royale.”
8 p.m. Sunday; The Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave., Seattle; SOLD OUT; stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.
