Mountain Man. Mountain Man did not intend to disappear for the better part of a decade, or to take eight years to release its second album, Magic Ship.

These songs distill eight years of experience between the album Made the Harbor and now—of sights seen, pleasures had, feelings hurt, forgiveness extended. These tunes are wise and tender, open and honest. Magic Ship conveys absolute warmth—like a snowbound afternoon spent indoors, passing a bottle of brown liquor between friends while putting old favorites on the turntable, or a long summer evening spent lounging beneath a shade tree, swapping stories and sharing laughs until the sun has vanished. $30, $27 members (+$3 at the door). 8PM.

Lively and poignant—and punctuated with the irresistible sound of Motown—Queens Girl in the World tags along for a young woman’s journey of self-discovery, at the onset of Civil Rights-era social change.

Entertaining and uplifting, Queens Girl in Africa captures an unforgettable moment in time for a teenager abroad—when questions of self and place intertwine with the realities of homework and hormones as Jacqueline assuredly, hilariously navigates the energy, excitement, and unpredictability of the 1960s. Ticket prices and showtimes vary. Everyman Theatre, 315 W Fayette St., Baltimore. http://everymantheatre.org/queens-girl-africa
