Pop . . . plus

Engelbert Humperdinck: If you want to see him, you probably have your ticket already. You also know that his voice remains remarkably full-throttle. Keswick Theatre, Easton Road and Keswick Avenue, Glenside, 8 tonight, $59.50 and $49.50, 215-572-7650, keswicktheatre.com.

The Walkmen: Since their 2002 debut, "Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone," this band has seen its fan base grow and its live and recorded sounds - once very different - meld into a bold, evocative rumble. They're playing Penn's Fall Show with the lastest-buzz Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Irvine Auditorium, 3400 Spruce St., 8 tonight, all ages, $15.

Sean Bones: He's a man and a band that references reggae and dancehall and delivers music with a side of goofy, but in a good, tuneful way. Opening for Benevento and Russo Duo. The Note, 142 E. Market St., West Chester, 9 tonight, $17, www.thenotewc.com.

Harper Simon: Yes, he's the son of that other Simon, but though there's certainly an aural family resemblance (hey, he could do worse!), Paul's boy has a nicely honed, countrified sound all his own. Puck, Printers Alley, 14 E. Court St., Doylestown, 8:30 tonight, $5, 215-348-9000, www.pucklive.com.

Steve Kimock Crazy Engine: Longtime innovator in music and music-making equipment blows it up in his latest incarnation, which includes Hammond B3 master Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band), his drummer son John Morgan Kimock and cellist Trevor Exter. There's a '70s fusion flashback in the work, but the "Guitar Monk" keeps things fresh. Baby Grand Room @ Grand Opera House, 818 N. Market St., Wilmington, Del., 8 p.m. tomorrow. $25 advance, $30 at the door. www.kimock.com.

Keb' Mo': Catch the Delta blues specialist - aka Kevin Moore from South L.A. - who always struts some mighty stuff in his live shows. Nice opener, too, in Southern soul-pop chanteuse Kristina Train, who's got a great debut disc, "Spilt Milk." Keswick Theatre, Easton Road and Keswick Avenue, Glenside, 8 p.m. tomorrow, $42 and $32, 215-572-7650, www.keswicktheatre.com.

The Swell Season: Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová enchanted (and won an Oscar) for their work in the low-budget but very hi-fi film, "Once." They've expanded their delicately wrenching duo sound to include a full band for their latest, "Strict Joy." Opening is Doveman, aka Thomas Bartlett, one of the most sought-after collaborators in the independent music scene. Merriam Theatre, 250 S. Broad St., 8 p.m. Sunday, $35, 877-598-8696, livenation.com.

Bob Dylan: Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, you're back on campus again. Liacouras Center, 1776 N. Broad St., 7:30 p.m. Monday, $49.50, $34.50 students, comcastTIX.com or 1-800-298-4200.

Monsters of Folk: Conor Oberst, Jim James, M Ward and Mike Mogis are making music as an eponymous group that somehow adds up to less than its parts, if you ask us (though plenty of folks are loving it). But they promise live tunes from their respective Bright Eyes, My Morning Jacket and M Ward catalogs, too. Academy of Music, Broad and Locust streets, 8 p.m. Monday, $50.50 and $40.50, 215-893-1999, www.kimmelcenter.org.

Bobby Long: He once played open-mike nights alongside "Twilight" star Robert Pattison, which may help explain how one of his songs got on the blockbuster film soundtrack. Now the British singer-songwriter has his own CD, and it's getting noticed. North Star, 27th and Poplar streets, 7 p.m. Wednesday, $15, 215-787-0488, www.northstarbar.com.
