"Church Music" is David Crowder Band's latest studio album. It's also the crux of its latest tour, which hits Cain's Ballroom on Friday night. You won't hear the old pianos or same old organ music you grew up with, however.

"Just two little words — it makes us understand that the music of the church is really broad," Crowder said in a recent Tulsa World interview.

Special guests Seabird and Danyew will open the show. Doors 7 p.m., show time 8 p.m., Friday. Cain's Ballroom, 423 N. Main St. All ages. Tickets are $25 plus fees. Visit tulsaworld.com/Cains for tickets and more information.

Get rowdy with Back Porch Mary

Rowdy Southern rock rumbler Back Porch Mary returns to the Mercury Lounge this weekend with a one-off show. Always a venue favorite, the Texas-bred musicians hop and burn with rockabillly aggression tempered with traditional bluegrass hues.

BPM's tunes blend a hard-rock edge with country honesty and draw fans from across the music spectrum, evoking comparisons to punk group Social Distortion. Yeah, it's cool.

Ryan Bales opens. 10 p.m. Saturday. Mercury Lounge, 18th Street and Boston Avenue. Visit tulsaworld.com/MercuryLounge for full details.

All-American Rejects work with a 'god'

Stillwater rock superstars All-American Rejects will collaborate with Weezer for their upcoming album "Raditude," Rolling Stone online reports.

The magazine interviewed Tyson Ritter, AAR frontman, about the track "Put Me Back Together:" "I was playing Weezer songs when I was 13 at parties, so now I can die happy," Ritter told RS about working with Weezer songwriter Rivers Cuomo. "The guy wouldn't sit down with just anybody, so I was stoked that we could give him a piece of his heart back. I feel like I've been the luckiest kid, to be validated by someone who in my generation is a god."

Read the full Rolling Stone story at RollingStone.com/RockDaily. The album is set for release Nov. 3. The band hits Tulsa on Nov. 25 at Cain's Ballroom.

Bon Jovi: He’ll be there for you

Bon Jovi will perform at the BOK Center arena in Tulsa on April 13. The band hasn’t released specific ticket information yet, but the World will report ticket costs and full on-sale date information when details are announced.

As first reported on tulsaworld.com, Bon Jovi’s new tour starts in February and runs through May, industry tracker Pollstar Pro posted on its Web site. Tulsa is the only Oklahoma date announced in the lineup.

Tickets go on sale Nov. 9, the BOK Center confirmed. A new studio album, “The Circle,” is set to hit retailers Nov. 10.
