There’s never a shortage of banner local acts to catch, but this week is special: Singer-songwriters from across the province congregate at the Epcor Centre for the TransCanada Alberta Series. A cool $76 will get you a pass, and that’s a steal: Reuben Bullock, Johanna Sillanpaa, Manuela and 100 Mile House play Thursday, March 24. The following night has Rambling Ambassadors, Mark Davis, Omarandthebear and Kat Danser. Sunday has Rae Spoon, Daniel Moir, Axis of Conversation, Lyra Brown and Christian Hansen and the Autistics. Fall in love with Alberta. Or, catch T-Pain at Flames Central, also on Thursday. Your call.

But that’s not the only, er, Goingson this week. Friday, March 25 has recent Deranged Records Edmonton punks No Problem releasing its Your Eyes 7-inch — and the venerable Vancouver label does little wrong. Expect all things snotty and confrontational, especially with local speedy noisemakers Sheglank’d Shoulders, Antisocial Club and Point Break opening. Elsewhere, well-loved Albertans Moby Dicks, Topless Mongos and The Mitts join the hilarious, likely shirtless B.A. Johnston at the Palomino.

On Saturday, March 26, catch the excellent musical wanderings of Flying Fox and the Hunter Gatherers — not to be confused with the similar-titled Calgary noise foragers — at Mikey’s Juke Joint. Having recently released Hans My Lion, the Winnipeg sextet careens around wonderful bouts of gypsy folk — especially evident in singer Jesse Krause’s vocals — jazzy interludes and trumpet blasts of regal experimentation. Wax up the tips of your mustache, throw on that vest and get going.

Or, instead, catch The Evidence, which releases its brand new CD at Dickens Pub. Expect to hear fuzzed out, sometimes proggy alt-rock, and if that’s not your style, then check the diverse stack of openers: Horror-fied local vets Forbidden Dimension, soft-spun folkies Tall Ships and noodly metalheads Truck round out the bill.

Finally, circle Wednesday, March 30 on your calendar. First, Corby Lund kicks off a three-night stand at High River’s East Longview Hall. Or there’s Bruce Cockburn at the Jubilee. Or there’s the incredible, dream-pop bliss of Fast Forward’s January cover darlings Braids — whose Native Speaker wowed SXSW and is becoming one of the year’s most talked about records — which lands at the Grand Theatre. Pick any of these: You can’t go wrong.
