Sat., Dec. 26, Old Ironsides, 9 p.m., $5
Geoff Miller, lead vocalist and guitarist of Sacramento’s very own Twilight Drifters, will be celebrating his birthday a day late at one of the city’s longest-running live-music venues, Old Ironsides. Fans of swing, ’50s rock, rockabilly, country and blues will find great reward in their 2013 release Hopped Up! Their wonderful nine-song platter showcases a trio who sounds as if they were birthed in another time period without sounding derivative. Local chanteuse Keri Carr joins the group on vocals. Opening the show are Peter Petty and KB & The Slingtones, along with DJ Dereck. 1901 10th Street, www.facebook.com/thetwilightdrifters.
