The Brazilian Girls headline the Studio B Rooftop Launch Party. Other acts are slated to perform, but does it really matter? This guaranteed good time will leave you dancing your pants off, and rooftop parties always seem to have an extra craziness. Combine that with the club launching, Brazilian Girls, and (hopefully) some warm spring air, and this party will definitely ruin your Saturday morning brunch plans. 259 Banker St., Brooklyn, price: $30 adv., $35 d.o.s., 9 p.m.

To picture the Jammys, just imagine the Grammys meets the MTV Music Awards minus obnoxious celebrities plus lots of people getting in “touch with their inner spirituality.” The annual award show, hosted by Warren Haynes and Grace Potter, will honor jam legend Phish this year with the Lifetime Achievement Award. If you’re a fan of the scene, there are always incredible on-stage collaborations of your favorite jam band heroes. Check it out, but be sure to consult your neighborhood botanist first. WaMu Theater at MSG, price: $44.50-64.50, 7:30 p.m.

The 15th annual “Some Kinda Legacy” concert organized by Sting and his wife brings together all those soft rock legends of yesteryear, including Billy Joel, James Taylor, and Brian Wilson. Other artists slated to perform include Sting himself, Feist, Chris Botti, and others. Even though “the green movement” in music is in its infancy, this benefit concert for the Rainforest Foundation Fund has been rockin’ for years! Carnegie Hall, price: cheapest tickets at $150, 7 p.m.
