Eight Gigs: Wrekmeister Harmonies

Sat., April 22, 8 p.m., Starlite Lounge, $10

JR Robinson is back in Sacramento after a triumphant show supporting his magnificent 2015 release, Night Of Your Ascension, which received heaps of critical acclaim and helped him gain a cult underground following in the process. Under the moniker of Wrekmeister Harmonies, he’s embarked on an ambitious U.S. tour. Besides fellow core member Esther Shaw (keyboards, piano, violin), he is debuting a leaner group of talented musicians, including Godspeed! You Black Emperor’s Thierry Amar (bass), Sophie Trudeau (piano) and Timothy Herzog on drums. 1517 21st Street, www.facebook.com/
