Go out with a bang after all: The ancient Mayan calendar ends on Dec. 21, 2012. And because it’s safe to assume that the ancient Mayans were all-knowing, that can only mean one thing: The world as we know it will end that day. So why not go out with a bang? The ArtsCenter will mark the big event with “Apocalesque!,” a cabaret and variety show based on transformation and the end of the world, at 8 p.m. Dec. 21.

Nothing says Christmas like fried chicken and ‘naner puddin,’ so you could hardly do better this holiday season than to take a break from the mall and groove to some deep-fried swamp boogie with Southern Culture on the Skids at the Cat’s Cradle on Dec. 14. With New Town Drunks and Fantastico! on the bill, too, and a bake sale to benefit the Carrboro Food Bank, it’s practically a Christmas miracle.

Jam for a good cause: It’s Thanksgiving week, and things are pretty quiet around here. Not for long, though; Saturday night the Cat’s Cradle presents its annual Post Turkey Day Jam (which used to be the Pre-Turkey Day Jam). The show will benefit the Inter-Faith Council for Social Service, and will feature three sets of music. The first is a songwriters-in-the-round performance with a terrific lineup: Caitlin Cary, Chip Robinson, Lynn Blakey, Katharine Whalen and Jon Shain, who started this whole thing years ago. The Swang Brothers will take the stage after that, and the evening with wrap up with the Southern Appalachians-meet-Northern India fusion of Hindugrass. 919-967-9053, catscradle.com
