Marymoor Park is closing up shop on its concert series this weekend with a little family reunion.

The Catch a Fire tour will feature Damian and Stephen Marley, as the famed children of Bob Marley bring their own modern-day take on reggae to the outdoor amphitheater. The show starts at 6 p.m. Sept. 19.

The Marley brothers have shared a musical bond throughout their careers, working on each other’s records and inspiring one another. Stephen helped produce “Halfway Tree” for Damian, and that album then went on to win a Grammy for best reggae album.

They both also have had success on the album charts. Damian’s mainstream breakthrough, 2005’s “Welcome to Jamrock,” hit No. 7 on the Billboard 200, while Stephen’s 2007 effort “Mind Control” reached No. 35.

The brothers won’t be coming to Redmond alone. The large bill also features Morgan Heritage, Tarrus Riley, Jo Mersa and Black Am I.

Tickets are $45 at showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.

Critically acclaimed electronica artist Dan Deacon also is headed to Seattle. He’ll play the Showbox at 9:30 p.m. Sept. 24.

Deacon has become well-known for his high energy shows, all centered on his love of ridiculous antics. But Deacon’s skills go far beyond his extroverted stage personality. Albums like 2009’s “Bromst” and this year’s “Glass Riffer” have showcased his ability to weld organic sounds with extremely elaborate electronic compositions, often achieving a poppy confection unlike anything else on the charts.

Tickets are $30 at showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.

The Showbox also will welcome Hollywood Undead for a concert at 8 p.m. Sept. 20.

The six-man rap-rock group out of California first found a following thanks to the social networking site MySpace.com. Their fan base then quickly grew beyond the web.

The group, known for hiding their faces with masks, saw their 2011 album, “American Tragedy,” and its follow-up, 2013’s “Notes from the Underground,” both reach the top 5 on the Billboard 200.

The act is touring now behind its latest disc, “Day of the Dead,” another dark, heavy offering from the act.

Tickets are $27.50 at showboxonline.com or 888-929-7849.

Neon Indian, meanwhile, will serve as the featured act for the latest Little Big Show, a series of concerts staged by Starbucks that raise money for local arts organizations. The Neptune Theatre will host the show at 9 p.m. Sept. 18.

Neon Indian is the brainchild of Alan Palomo, an electronica artist who has moved his sound into dance-friendly terrain on lauded albums like “Era Extrana.” He’s at work now on a new album, and released the upbeat single “Annie” this past spring.

Proceeds from the show will go toward the Northwest Tap Connection, a Seattle tap dance studio.

Tickets are $15 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.

And finally, Beth Hart will hit the Neptune for a show at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 22.

Hart’s take on blues rock has found her partnering with famed guitarist Joe Bonamassa on several albums, although she’s also released a fair share of solo records as well. Her latest, “Better Than Home,” went to No. 1 on the blues charts this April.

Tickets are $33.50 at stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.
