Two very different shows happening this Tue., Sept. 30. Info on both below.Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers with Daryl Hance“It’s a little too late to die young,” Nicki Bluhm belts out in “Little Too Late,” her dulcet vocals tunefully drawling or soulfully howling over 11 tracks in the self-titled debut from the San Francisco-based songstress and her band, their music a rambling, organ groove-oriented mix of folk rock, Americana and roots-and-psych-flecked rock n’ roll. On a side note, Nicki’s husband Tim Bluhm – guitarist of The Mother Hips and sideman to numerous others – co-writes most of her songs, arranged and produced Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers, and serves as the band's musical director. 8 p.m., Capitol Theatre, Clearwater, $22 & $32.
