Live music picks

FRIDAY

Robin Meade

She doesn’t need the third time to be a charm since the first two were such solid performances. But Meade, host of HLN’s “Morning Express,” will return to Eddie’s Attic for outing No. 3 since releasing her second album, “Count on Me,” last summer. As with past concerts, Meade and guest musicians — this time Angie Aparo and Rivers Rutherford — will perform round-robin style, with each of the artists performing one of their songs with the other musicians accompanying. Both Rutherford and Aparo are primo songwriters, having written hits such as Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton’s “When I Get Where I’m Going” and Tim McGraw’s “Real Good Man” (Rutherford) and Faith Hill’s “Cry” and Miley Cyrus’ “Two More Lonely People.” (Aparo).

With Angie Aparo and Rivers Rutherford. 9:30 p.m. May 16. $18 (in advance) and $24 (at the door). Eddie’s Attic, 515-B N. McDonough St., Decatur. 1-877-725-8849, www.ticketalternative.com.

Wolfmother

The Australian rockers — Grammy winners in 2006 for the song “Woman” — have tweaked their lineup and are now a trio, with vocalist-guitarist Andrew Stockdale, bassist-keyboardist Ian Peres and drummer Vin Steele leading the charge. After the rotating member-go-round finally stopped, Wolfmother released its third studio album, “New Crown,” in March.

With Kadavar. 7:30 p.m. May 16. $24. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, www.ticketmaster.com.

SATURDAY

Gladys Knight

Although former Celtic Woman Lisa Kelly performed at the Fred last weekend, Knight’s show is the official kickoff of the season at the Peachtree City venue. The soul queen hardly needs an introduction — especially in Georgia (“Midnight Train” or some awesome fried chicken, anyone?) — but the Atlanta native surely will bring her arsenal of hits to the stage. She’s also prepping for a Broadway run starting July 8 in the Tony-nominated musical “After Midnight.”

With Toni Byrd. 8 p.m. May 17. $45-$75. Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater, 201 McIntosh Trail, Peachtree City. 1-877-725-8849, www.ticketalternative.com.

Willie Nelson & Family and Alison Krauss & Union Station

The tour launch of this top-notch pairing of country and bluegrass royalty got bumped back a couple of weeks because of an “urgent health concern” for Krauss. This is the first time that Nelson and family and Krauss and Union Station, featuring Jerry Douglas, have shared the stage together, so be primed for some sing-alongs. Nelson will release a new album, “Band of Brothers,” June 17.

With the Devil Makes Three. 7 p.m. May 17. $40-$79.50 (previously purchased tickets will be honored). This is a nontable setup show. Coolers and carry-ins are not allowed. Chastain Park Amphitheatre, 4469 Stella Drive N.W., Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, www.ticketmaster.com.

Party in the Park

For the third consecutive year, Party in the Park will commandeer Centennial Olympic Park with a spring day full of music. Girl Talk, MGMT, the Joy Formidable, Minus the Bear and Stokeswood lead this year’s edition of the event, which began in 2012 as the first ticketed concert in a decade at the park, featuring the Flaming Lips as headliners. Last year’s outing brought Passion Pit and Ellie Goulding to the stage. Party in the Park is an all-ages event, but those under 16 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Children less than 32 inches tall do not require a ticket.
