Jan. 1: Brooklyn Concert, 9 p.m., Roky Erickson Plus the Fleshtones

One of the founding fathers of psychedelic rock, Roky Erickson is a harmonica-tooting singer-songwriter from Texas. He dropped out of high school in the 1960s when they tried to force him to cut his hair. I think he liked Dylan. Southpaw Brooklyn, 125 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217. $25 at Ticketmaster.
