MUSIC
The guitar-and-cello duo Janel and Anthony just released their second album, and it “evokes a life where the purer powers of melody temporarily succumb to the special seductions of sonic chaos,” writes Joe Warminsky in his review in this week’s City Paper. They perform at 9 p.m. at IOTA, 2832 Wilson Blvd., Arlington. (703) 522-8340. $12.
THEATER
Chris Klimek gets behind Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play, which imagines a post-apocalyptic future wherein humans must rebuild the oral tradition via their memories of, yup, The Simpsons. Invoking the show’s inspiration, he declares the comedy “a perfectly cromulent hit.” To July 1 at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, 641 D St. NW. (202) 393-3939. $20-$67.50.
FOOD

Get the first sip starting at 6 p.m. Churchkey, 1337 14th St. NW. (202) 567-2576. (Jessica Sidman)
