[Birthday shout-outs today to the legendary Robbie Robertson, local rocker Andy Siara and blogger-in-arms Justin Gage/Aquarium Drunkard …]

If the schedule seems a bit light tonight, don’t worry. By the end of the week, you’ll be crushed:

‣ Nashville-based quartet the Greencards – with their fifth installment of “newgrass,” titled “The Brick Album,” just released – visit the Mint. Tennessee-bred fiddler Tyler Andal and flatpicking whiz Carl Miner have joined Australians Carol Young and Kym Warner in the Grammy-nominated band’s lineup.
‣ Little Record Company, the imprint launched by Rilo Kiley bassist Pierre de Reeder, kicks off a Tuesday residency at the Satellite, with each of the band’s releasing an album this year getting a headlining slot this month. First up, Miracle Parade [see April’s post], who will be joined by Morgan Nagler of Whispertown, Jake Bellows (Neva Dinova) and Michael Davis.
‣ Two of SoCal’s most engaging songstresses, Anya Marina and Meiko, head up the lineup at the Hotel Cafe.
‣ And indie-rock quartet Irontom [see our June post] kicks off a Tuesday residency at the Central SAPC in Santa Monica.
