On THURSDAY (the 19th), omnipresent six-string slinger MARK CUTLER brings all-star friends along to the Greenwich Hotel (401.884.4200), 21+ and no cover all night. And Jerky's Bar delivers a triple-bill starting with Newport-based rockers THE DIEPODS (put their new self-titled debut on your Xmas wishlist) with '90s indie pioneers BACKWASH and local legends SCARCE (!) headlining. Call 401.621.2244 for ticket info. FRIDAY (the 20th) highlights include JEFF PITCHELL & TEXAS FLOOD bringing their acclaimed blues down south to the Ocean Mist (401.782.3740), and a pair of hot shows in the Bucket; Fall Rivuh's PISTOL SHOT GYPSY rock out at Cat's (401.722.0150) and the Blackstone hosts ROUTE. 44 with locals THE WIPPETS, NYC's ANALOGUE TRANSIT, and Beantown's MEMBERS OF MORPHINE: THE ELASTIC WASTE BAND, featuring former members Dana Colley (sax) and Jerome Deupree (drums) performing classic Mark Sandman cuts as well as their own brand of "psycho-Delta blues." It's only $7 at the door, call 401.726.2181 for more. Mellow out up north on SATURDAY (the 21st) with Grammy-winning guitarist DUKE ROBILLARD, playing two sets at Chan's (401.765.1900) at 8 and 10 pm, while Funkatronic guitarist PAUL CARAHER plays solo jazz standards for the dinner crowd at Cantina Di Marco in Cumberland, call 401.722.4170.
