Fort Knox Allstars - Xmas Dub Time (Rex Riddem video)

If you’re from the DC area, you may know some of these guys. It’s been a Christmas tradition for me since it was released over a decade ago.

6 concerts to go to in the D.C. area this weekend

Jackie Greene and Anders Osborne are touring together and playing each other’s songs. (Michael Halsband/Dwight Marshall)

Oct. 26: Jackie Greene and Anders Osborne Birchmere, 3701 Mount Vernon Ave., Alexandria; Thu., 7:30 p.m., $35. You could call this pair of singer-songwriters traveling troubadours, so it’s not surprising that they’d link up for a joint tour. Unlike other co-bills, Jackie Green, left, and Anders Osborne are actually playing together, dueting on each other’s songs, timely covers and more. California’s Greene is touring behind his just-released ”The Modern Lives Vol. 1;” while New Orleans’ Osborne is supporting a pair of records he dropped last year.

Oct. 27: This Is the Kit DC9, 1940 Ninth St. NW; Fri., 7 p.m., $12-$15. There’s a delicate, airy nature to British musician Kate Stables’ This Is the Kit project that feels warm and inviting. The Paris-based singer’s “Moonshine Freeze,” from this year’s album of the same name, is based around a simple guitar part and Stables’ distinctive voice before a bunch of instruments loudly join in, as if they’re welcoming you, the listener, to join in too. If you miss its headlining show at DC9 this weekend, This Is the Kit will be back in the city in December to open a sold-out show for The National at The Anthem.

Oct. 27: Amythyst Kiah Pearl Street Warehouse, 33 Pearl St. SW; Fri., 8:30 p.m., $15. Tennessee singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah recently opened for Rhiannon Giddens on tour, and there couldn’t be a more perfect pairing. Both artists make old-timey acoustic music that’s steeped in Southern tradition but manages to still feel current. Kiah stands out for her ability to fuse the old with the new. On her debut album, 2013’s “Dig,” she does a charging cover of the old folk song “Darlin Corey,” then a few songs later delivers a sparse and aching take on Radiohead’s “Fake Plastic Trees.”

Oct. 27, 28 & 31: Halloween at Gypsy Sally’s Gypsy Sally’s, 3401 K St. NW; Fri., 8:30 p.m., $16-$18; Sat., 8:30 p.m., $10-$12; Tue., 8 p.m., $15. As part of Gypsy Sally’s Halloween festivities, the club will host a trio of shows. First up is Friday’s show, with hybrid cover band Pink Talking Fish (guess which three bands the group covers). Saturday’s show, dubbed Hallowscene, features three D.C. bands: indie rock act Drop Electric, dance-friendly reggae band Nappy Riddem, and Staycation. RAQ plays on Halloween, wearing a musical costume of Foo Fighters and Fugazi songs.

Gonna miss you being on my future favorite funk songs, man. Peace.
