It’s Friday, so if you’re not hitting the road for the holidays, hit a show:

‣ New York-based soft rock phenoms Baby Alpaca, the band built around singer Chris Kittrell and Zach McMillan, headlines the Bootleg Bar behind their self-titled EP, supported by the Range, Future Twin and Glorious Wonder. That’s Baby Alpaca’s video for “Sea of Dreams,” above.
‣ The supergroup Camp Freddy does the second of three sold-out shows at the Roxy, supported by Picture Me Broken. (A New Year’s Eve show with Camp Freddy has been added as well.)
‣ It’s Night 2 of Andrew Bird’s “Gezelligheid” at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church, where Tift Merritt opens.
‣ The first night of the Merry Minstrel Musical Circus, a benefit hosted by Jonathan Wilson and Mike Campbell, goes off the Troubadour.
‣ Suicidal Tendencies gets loud at the Fonda Theatre, heading up a lineup of Terror, Trash Talk, Sprung Monkey and the Inspector Kluzo.
