After four weeks on the road, the Cave Singers—Seattle's dirgiest dirge-folk trio—have earned a proper homecoming. With these unassuming guys, that requires little more than a case of PBR, a dimly lit stage, a couple acoustic guitars, and their tiny drum kit. Expect numbers from their recently released debut, Invitation Songs: a mesmerizing, pastoral hallucination that could soundtrack a Twin Peaks dream sequence as easily as an Appalachian coal miner's funeral. (Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave, 441-5611. 9 pm, $10 adv/$12 DOS, 21+.)

As a rule, haunted houses—scary, funny, or Christian—are for children and stunted adults, but this ghostly tour of the Rainier Brew House sounds promising. The brewery was built in 1903 and its plant manager was the mayor of Georgetown (the "wet outpost" for Seattle, which was a dry city). There will be performances by the cirque noir musicians and acrobats of Circus Contraption and some good actors—including Stranger Genius Award–winner Amy Thone and her supremely talented husband, Hans Altwies. There will, of course, be beer. (Rainier Cold Storage Brew House, 5900 Airport Way S, info@theatreoffjackson.org. 8 pm, $5.)
