Scott Fitzgerald Theatre, 603 Edmonston Drive, Rockville. Click here for more information. $20-$22.

Blue Canyon Boys: The Blue Canyon Boys are equal parts purists and innovators when it comes to Bluegrass: they stay true to the form’s roots while constantly reimagining their relationship to tradition. The result is a toe-tapping mix of haunting standards, genre-bending arrangements, and catchy original numbers—all built on the bedrock of their collective bluegrass mastery. Saturday, Sept. 28 at 8 p.m.  BlackRock Center for the Arts, 12901 Town Commons Drive, Germantown.
