Music in the Midlands: BIG Something, Lil Uzi Vert, Love & Glitter Gala

BIG Something

The six-piece progressive rock band from North Carolina is coming into its own after supporting acts like The B-52s, moe. and Umphrey’s McGee. Get a preview of some songs from the band’s fourth studio album, “Tumbleweed,” due out later this month. To get an idea, singer Nick MacDaniels has compared the album’s vibe to “a post-apocalyptic desert trip.”
