Shamir

Mononymous Philadelphia songwriter Shamir released two albums this year: Hope, which was recorded in one weekend in the spring and released on SoundCloud the following Monday morning, and Revelations, which came out on Father/Daughter Records last month. Both albums were made in Shamir's South Philly apartment, and they reestablish the Las Vegas-born singer as a guitar-based indie artist, rather than the left-of-center electro-pop act he appeared to be when his 2015 album Ratchet and its hit "On the Regular" turned the then-teenager into an accidental pop star. Partner opens at this all-ages show. — Dan DeLuca

8 p.m. Saturday at First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St. $15-$17.  r5productions.com

Marah Christmas spectacular

Since brothers Dave and Serge Bielanko of Marah reunited with the reissue of their 2000 album Kids in Philly two years ago, the band, now based in central Pennsylvania, has been back in top form, rocking the house in club shows around town and turning in a stellar set at the inaugural Hoagie Nation fest this year. The band has also revived its Christmas show tradition, so while keeping fingers crossed to hear new material, expect Santa hats, a tour through the band's catalog, and holiday selections from 2005's A Christmas Kind of Town. — D.D.

9 p.m. Saturday,  Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St. $20-$50. 215-627-1332. undergroundarts.org.

Judy Collins

Judy Collins has an expansive songbook to draw on when she comes to the Sellersville Theatre for two shows on Sunday. She has released more than 30 albums since  1961, and this year, she's put out two: a tribute to Stephen Sondheim (expanding on her timeless interpretation of "Send in the Clowns") and Everybody Knows, a collaboration with Stephen Stills (who wrote "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" for her). At 78, her voice retains its mannered beauty. Ari Heist, her frequent collaborator, opens a show billed as Holiday & Hits, so expect some seasonal tunes and duets amid her signature renditions of Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and Sondheim songs. — Steve Klinge

3 and 8 p.m. Sunday,  Sellersville Theater, 24 W. Temple Ave., Sellersville. 3 p.m. show sold out; $50-$75 8 p.m. show. 215-257-5808, st94.com.

Samantha Fish

She came storming out of Kansas City as a blues prodigy, quickly gaining attention and acclaim as a dynamic singer and guitar-slinger. Since then, 28-year-old Samantha Fish has been masterfully expanding her range while remaining rooted in the blues. She went to Detroit to cut a terrific album of rock-edged R&B covers ("Chills and Fever") with the garage-soul band the Detroit Cobras, and has followed that up by going to Mississippi for an Americana turn. Her new album, Belle of the West, produced by Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars, is a mostly acoustic-textured set that exudes a more rustic vibe while also highlighting Fish's fine songwriting. –Nick Cristiano

With Louie Fontaine, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Ardmore Music Hall, 23 Lancaster Ave., $15 advance, $18 and $25 day of show. 610-649-8389, ardmoremusichall.com
