Wednesday Happenings

Music

-- Mike Doughty brings his band to the Somerville Theatre in support of his latest release, "Golden Delicious." Bring your song requests and be prepared for him to shoot 'em down. Good-naturedly (kind of), of course. The Panderers kick off the night at 7:30 p.m. Somerville Theatre, 55 Davis Square, Somerville. $21.00. (CR)

Books

-- Local poet Linda Bamber, who teaches at Tufts, will be reading from her first book of poetry, Metropolitan Tang. We hear she throws a little Derrida into the mix. Brookline Booksmith, 279 Harvard St., Brookline, 7:00 pm. Free. (CR)

Indian Guitar Heroes

-- Debashish Bhattacharya uses string instruments to reinterpret Indian classical vocal music. He plays the slide guitar as if it were a human voice. In a trio tonight. Museum of Fine Arts, 7:30pm. $20/$25.
