A couple weeks ago, I got to see a favorite singer of mine, Jonathan Coulton. Coulton is one of the leading singers in the small geek-folk/rock field. Like nerdcore music, this isn't any different than the overall genre, but he sings with a number of themes that fall within geek/nerd fandom. His concert, opened by Paul and Storm (who were in and of themselves quite funny), was a fun and highly entertaining evening. I can't say that he's the best stage presence that I've seen - a bit more preperation would have been nice, but his songs superseed that by quite a bit. If you get a chance to check him out, I recommend it.
Here's the set list:
