This week in Sarasota area events will feature concerts by out-of-town acts touring, locally based musicians playing their hometown, and even one show combining both.

An emo/indie rock act that started out in Bradenton before accruing an international fanbase, moving away and signing to a since-shuttered California record label will return this weekend for their first Friendly City show in a while. Also returning to the area this week, after more recent concerts, will be a multiple Blues Music Award-winning artist, an U.K. acoustic guitarist joined by a harpist, and a Cure tribute band. We close things out with members of another Bradenton band, also playing a hometown show. Here are this week's highlights. Event details are subject to change.
