The 19th edition of the multifaceted Fusebox Festival returns to venues across town for five nights of captivating music and mixed media performances. On Thursday at 9pm, Dorian Wood brings her poignant voice-and-piano performance Anthology of the New Depression to Hotel Vegas, followed by an afterparty featuring SKLOSS' noisy psych rock, sultry queer pop from Lena Luca, and experimental folk artist BRUCE (Carrie Fussell of Calliope Musicals). Both are open to the public with $15 entry. On Friday at 7pm, reconnect with your inner middle schooler at the spacious Museum of Human Achievement's Cool Adult Rec Center Lock-In. Comedian/actress/ artist triple threat Dana Yanoshack and rock bandleader Lauren "LG" Gilbert host the evening's festivities, which include an unconventional adult-tailored variety show. Gilbert's boisterous Nashville-based queer rock group Thelma & the Sleaze headlines, alongside witty experimental writer Rachel Mars, comedian Paula Poundstone, and more. Entry is included with a Fusebox pass or $10 at the door; arrive early to secure your spot. Find the full weekend lineup at fuseboxfestival.com. – Genevieve Wood
