The Duhks
Martha Wainwright
Mon., Sept. 15, 8 p.m., $10, with John Wiese, Morally Gray and Kudler/Fraser Duo, Circle of Hope, 1125 S. Broad St., second floor, bowerbird.org.
The pair create brooding, nightmarish urban landscapes, akin to a Takemitsu score for a David Lynch film.
The Duhks
Fri., Sept. 12, 7:30 p.m., $16, with Luke Doucet, Tin Angel, 20 S. Second St., tinangel.com.

Martha Wainwright
Thu., Sept. 11, 6 p.m., $21-$33, World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 215-222-1400, worldcafelive.com.
