February mixtape

Dirty South originators Goodie Mob brings its reunion tour to the 9:30 club on Feb. 11. (Kyle Gustafson For The Post)

All stages of musical careers are accounted for in next month's calendar of live music: blues hounds old enough to remember World War I, overlooked but influential bands on their second chapters and upstarts with just a single album looking to make a name for themselves. So whether it's 96-year-old boogie pianist Pinetop Perkins, reunited Southern hip-hop group Goodie Mob or young arena-rockers-in-training Surfer Blood, February's lineup certainly can appeal to all ages.
