Cape Cod & Islands this week: Panorama (Tribute to the Cars), Crooked Coast and more

Neptune's in Hyannis books four nights, from an originals Thursday to a Sunday-afternoon Cars tribute, while Falmouth, Wellfleet and a brewery taproom fill out the weekend.

The summer crowds are gone, but Neptune's on Main Street in Hyannis is still booking four nights this week. Five shows are listed across the Cape and Islands for Nov. 2–8, and a couple more turn up around the edges. Here's the week, night by night.

Thursday, Nov. 5 — Friendly Fowl with Northbound, Neptune's, Barnstable, 7 p.m. Part of the room's Original Thursdays series.

Friday, Nov. 6 — The Saint Cecilia with Steve Rondo, Neptune's, Barnstable, 7 p.m. (tickets)

Saturday, Nov. 7 — Vyntyge Skynyrd, Neptune's, Barnstable, 7 p.m. A Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute (tickets).

Saturday, Nov. 7 — Kelly and the Poor Boys, Naukabout Brewery and Taproom, 7 p.m. (tickets)

Saturday, Nov. 7 — Crooked Coast, Daily Brew Coffee House & Lounge, Falmouth, 8:30 p.m. The late reggae option.

Sunday, Nov. 8 — Panorama (Tribute to the Cars), Neptune's, Barnstable, 5 p.m. The week's top pick (tickets).

Sunday, Nov. 8 — Walter Parks & The Unlawful Assembly with Vance Gilbert, Wellfleet Preservation Hall, 5 p.m. (tickets)

Neptune's, at 541 Main Street in Hyannis, is carrying the week. Its run starts with Thursday's originals night and finishes with a 5 p.m. Sunday show from Panorama, who perform the music of the Cars. An early Sunday start means you're home by a reasonable hour, and on a November weekend that counts for something. Friday and Saturday fill in the middle with The Saint Cecilia and Steve Rondo, then Vyntyge Skynyrd's tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The summer crowds are gone, but Main Street in Hyannis is still booking four nights.

If you're on the Outer Cape, Sunday has a second option at the same hour: Walter Parks & The Unlawful Assembly, with Vance Gilbert, at Wellfleet Preservation Hall. Saturday spreads out across the region too, with Kelly and the Poor Boys at Naukabout's taproom and Crooked Coast playing late in Falmouth at the Daily Brew.

Neptune's has kept a steady calendar through the fall, and this week is a good look at what the room does in the off-season: original local bills early in the week, tribute bands on the weekend.

Pick Sunday if you can only do one. Panorama in Hyannis and Walter Parks in Wellfleet both start at 5, so choose by which end of the Cape you'd rather drive to.
