Triple threats
They write. They record. They play. Alabama singer-songwriter Tom Kimmel, with special guest Baltimore singer-songwriter Karyn Oliver, will perform at 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 14, at Focus Rockville in O’Brien’s Barbecue, 387 East Gude Drive, Rockville. Kimmel’s songs have been recorded by Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman (The Byrds), Levon Helm (The Band), Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Cash and Joe Cocker, as well as on his own seven albums. Up-and-coming Oliver released her debut album ‘‘Hurricane” last year. Admission is $15, $12 for members. Call 301-275-7459 or log on to www.focusmusic.org.
Opposites attract
‘‘Beauty and the Beast,” ceramic vessels and sculpture by Liz Lescault, is on view through June 7 in the Waverly Street Gallery, 4600 East-West Highway, Bethesda. In this exhibit, the artist explores the two facets of the creative impulse that drive her work. Although strikingly different in their intent, these representations of the beautiful and the bestial are viscerally related, with one inclination feeding the other. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6 p.m. A reception is set for 6 to 9 p.m. Friday. Call 301-951-9441 or visit www.waverlystreetgallery.com.
No boundaries
Herdman, Hills & Mangsen — that is, Priscilla Herdman, Anne Hills and Cindy Mangsen — will perform at the Institute of Musical Traditions at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Saint Mark Presbyterian Church, 10701 Old Georgetown Road, Rockville. The three, each with a busy solo career, come together annually to bring intricate arrangements to newly found musical treasures with an art-song vocal styling that crosses the boundaries of folk and classical music. Tickets are $20, $15 in advance. Call 301-754-3611 or visit www.imtfolk.org.
