Head to the Michener Art Museum's sculpture garden this weekend, and you'll find over a dozen large-scale, colorful, inflatable sculptures taking over the space. Each, crafted by Philadelphia- and Miami-based artist Frank Hyder, takes the shape of a giant head made of nylon and paint. Hyder expresses that the compilation is meant to reference Moai of Easter Island, Olmec heads, and the ancient Roman god of new endeavors, while at the same time exhibit influences of street art and inflatable toys. — G.D.

Opens 10 a.m. Saturday, Michener Art Museum, 138 S. Pine St., Doylestown, free with museum admission, michenerartmuseum.org

Los Angeles saxophone player, composer and bandleader Kamasi Washington has managed the difficult trick of crossing over from jazz to pop stardom of a sort. And he's done without watering down or smoothing out his music in the least. Quite the opposite. Washington's latest opus, Heaven and Earth, is a two-hour musical travelogue that combines hard bop, psychedelia, strings, blaxploitation, martial arts movie soundtrack tropes, and whatever else works in a majestic mix that looks alternately outward at the world at large and inward toward Washington's personal spiritual journey. Last November, he put on a transfixing show at Union Transfer. This time, he's going bigger, at the former Electric Factory. — Dan DeLuca

8 p.m. Friday at the Franklin Music Hall, 7th and Willow Sts. $36.50-$40. 215-627-1332. bowerypresents.com.    

It's the shape of CGI things to come. The estates of beloved but inconveniently dead pop stars have been threatening to take digital recreations on the road ever since the Tupac hologram showed up at Coachella in 2012. And now it's happening: "In Dreams: Roy Orbison, The Hologram Tour" will bring the otherworldly voiced  "Oh, Pretty Woman" and "Crying" singer-guitarist, who died in 1988, back to technologically assisted life this weekend, when the one-time Traveling Wilbury journeys to the Parx Casino in Bensalem, where the Philly Pops will back him up. — Dan DeLuca

8 p.m. Friday at Xcite Center at Parx Casino, 2999 Street Rd., Bensalem. $30-$50. 888-588-7279. parxcasino.com

Between the unprintable (at least in a family newspaper) name and the gruff, roaring vocals of Damian Abraham, Toronto's F-ed Up have not been very user-friendly, at least to those not versed in hardcore punk. But with riff-happy songs full of high-velocity energy, shout-along choruses and inventive twists, F-ed Up's new double-album Dose Your Dreams is immediately accessible. It dips into motorik repetition, new wave pop, and zippy punk as it sprawls, joyfully, through an obscure narrative arc. "I Don't Want to Live In This World Anymore," Abraham growls and several other vocalists sing, adding the band's favorite expletive. But the world's a better place to live in with F-ed Up's ambitious and fun Dose Your Dreams. — Steve Klinge

8 p.m. Friday at the First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St. $20. 215-821-7575, r5productions.com.

Is there a person on the planet more adept at making a solo guitar sound like an entire band is onstage than Richard Thompson? (Sorry, Ed Sheeran is not the answer.) In September the British songwriting great (who now lives in Montclair, N.J.) played a magical Free at Noon mini-set in support of his characteristically dark and brooding new album 13 Rivers that was a reminder of his brilliance (and also how funny he is). In Glenside, the former Fairport Convention singer will likely have some time alone on the stage, but he also has a band: It's a Richard Thompson Electric Trio show. Shawn Colvin, back in town after playing a benefit show with Emmylou Harris in Collingswood last month, is the opener.   — Dan DeLuca

8 p.m. Saturday at Keswick Theatre, 291 N. Keswick Ave. at 8 p.m. Saturday. $45-$69.  215-572-7650. keswicktheatre.com.

The Tallest Man on Earth's most recent album of looming folk, Dark Bird is Home, is raw and earthy, yet starry-eyed and full-blooded with the silvery tone of synths, pedal steel, and French horns enveloping each dreamy song like a shroud. — A.D. Amorosi

7 p.m. Saturday, Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St., $30, utphilly.com

Cool show of the weekend: Duluth, Minn., trio Low, who consist of the husband-and-wife team of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker, plus bass player Steve Garrington, and who are often ID'd as the prototypical "slowcore" band. For a quarter century, they've followed their instincts to move between rock and country and gospel and electronic music, earning fans like Robert Plant, who recorded two Low songs on his Band of Joy album. The trio's new Double Negative marks their second time working with producer B.J. Borton, who helps take Low into a bold experimental direction that's abrasive and beautiful. Recommended to fans of Radiohead and Nick Cave. — Dan DeLuca

8 p.m. Saturday at Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St. $20-$22. 215-627-1332. undergroundarts.org.

Part Southern rocker, part soul man — he's only 22, but with the depth of his expressiveness as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Marcus King exudes a gravity that belies his youth. On his third and best album, Carolina Confessions, the South Carolina native again fronts a sextet that includes keyboards and horns and deftly incorporates elements of rock, R&B, and country. If the songs explore the fallout of fractured relationships with an unsparing eye, the music offers plenty of transcendence. — Nick Cristiano

With Ida Mae, at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Theatre of Living Arts, 334 South St. Tickets: $25. 215-922-1011.
