Community notes:
- The big event this week, of course, is the Music Gallery's annual X Avant festival. Shows are listed below, but you are urged to go to the MG website and get some deeper background on the newcomers and familiar faces that will be performing. Shows have pay-what-you-can-afford ticket options, so it's a friendly way to take a step into the unfamiliar.
- Meanwhile, in other Music Gallery news, they have announced that applications are open for next year's residency program, which is very open-ended and approachable to performers of many styles/skill-sets. Claim your space!
