FUTURE NOW ALICIA OLATUJA Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Alicia Olatuja is ascending through the 21st-century music scene on the strengths of her soulful vocals and tunes that merge jazz and soul into a truly unique atmospheric blend. She first came to prominence in 2013, as the featured soloist with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir at President Obama’s second inauguration. Media outlets including Downbeat Magazine and The New York Times have praised her work, and collaborations with heavy-hitters like Dr. Lonnie Smith, Christian McBride and Chaka Khan (Chaka Khan) are revealing that Olatuja might be a millennial with an old soul. 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, The Ritz Theatre & Museum, LaVilla, $25-$30, ritzjacksonville.com.

POUNDING FLESH CARCASS Formed in 1985 in Liverpool (like the Beatles), thrash demigods Carcass serve a sonic, sinewy feast of gruesome lyrics and blast-beat-driven music that’s been called (depending on your morals and sense of pulchritude) splatter metal, hardgore and goregrind. When the band added melody to the mix in the ’90s, some fans cried foul, while others saw it as an inevitable progression of a group that had redefined metal and were now redefining themselves. Carcass has experienced a few line-up changes and even called it quits in ’06. The re-formed band is here in support of their latest, Surgical Steel. 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10 with Deafheaven and Inter Arma, 1904 Music Hall, Downtown, $25, 1904musichall.com.

THE COSMOLOGICAL EYE AN EVENING with NEIL DeGRASSE TYSON As an astrophysicist, cosmologist, author and all-around brainiac, Neil deGrasse Tyson is a visionary in science and humanities, equally at ease pontificating about the universe as he is about social justice as he is about his open-minded, secular beliefs. While Tyson has dismissed the idea of philosophy, he’s actually as synced with ancient philosophers like Heraclitus as he is with Stephen Hawking. Tyson’s insightful views on “big questions,” delivered in a laid-back, humorous approach we morons can comprehend, the multiple-awardwinning scientist (who has 18 honorary doctorates!) continues to spark our interest in a true universe of ideas and thought. 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14, The Florida Theatre, Downtown, $69.50-$89.50, floridatheatre.com.
