The Corrections return! Saturday (March 10) to Nietszche’s, 9pm. After wrapping up their latest recording project, this versatile group is back and rockin,’ ready to make up for any time lost during their six month period of hibernation. With a very busy upcoming schedule, another recording project slated to begin this month and the addition of some new blood (in the form of new drummer Cave Wilson), this marks an exciting time for the local alternative band (expect a new website to be launched soon, too). Starting Saturday’s show is the dream duo John & Mary at 9pm sharp, followed by the Rochester psychadelic pop band Hinkley. Solo acoustic artist Bob Fera will play in between sets.

Local modern folkie Brian Wheat celebrates the release of his latest effort with his band Groggy Darlin’ by performing two shows on Saturday (March 10). The first will be an in-store performance at New World Record at 4:30pm, followed by the big show later that night at Soundlab at 9pm. Also perfoming is special guest Rachel Ries, who lends backup vocals on Wheat’s new album Where You Have Been. Recorded in Orchard Park at Harvest Sum Studios, Wheat and company deliver a collection of songs that are lyrically rich and musically mature, and the CD itself has cool packaging courtesy of Shelly Bronson of Buffalo’s French Press. Of course, the CD will be on sale at both shows.

A fluctuating collective formed in rural Massachussetts, Sunburned Hand Of The Man has often been lumped in the so called “free folk” scene. While they may share certain qualities with bands such as Feathers or Espers, they have a spirit of adventure that fewcan rival. There is no planned set for any performance, and rarely if ever is anything repeated twice. Like Six Organs Of Admittance (with whom they often share members), the group thrives on confounding expectations. Like offering raw and primitive percussive drones when an audience was expecting innovative and delicate folk music. Every show is different, so different in fact that the band often sells CDRs of their shows as soon as the following night. Sunburned Hand Of The Man performs at Mohawk Place on Sunday (March 10) at 9pm with Gown and Pengo. No one’s saying what will happen, but it will definitely not be boring.

Jacek Muzyk, principal horn player with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra will present a recital at Canisius College’s Montante Cultural Center on Sunday (March 11) at 3pm. Raised in Poland, Muzyk excelled at piano at an early age but switched to French horn at age 18, coming to study at some of the best music schools in the US, including the Julliard in NYC. After returning to Poland and playing with Krystian Zimerman’s Polish Festival Orchestra, which was awarded a Grammy Award in 1999, Muzyk came back to the states and was soon appointed principal horn with the BPO. Muzyk will be accompanied on Sunday by award-winning Polish pianist Igor Lipinski. Adults are asked to make a $10 donation to benefit the Canisius College Student Summer Camp Program at an orphanage in Poland, no charge for children or students

Consisting of former members of Denali, Euphone, Joan Of Arc and Pinebender, Ambulette formed in 2004 around the talented lead singer Maura Davis. Signed to the Astralwerks label shortly after, the band quickly earned rave reviews for their slow, sensual sound. With atmospheric guitars and moody beats, the music brings to mind Massive Attack, while Davis’ voice echoes the commanding presense of PJ Harvey. After receiving critical adulation for their debut EP The Lottery, Ambulette is now working on their first full length, which from all accounts promises to fulfill the ambition hinted at on their previous recording. Ambulette co headlines with The New Trust on Tuesday (March 13) at Mohawk Place. Opening the show is The Exit Strategy and Marionette, starting at 9pm
