Doozy

Boston roots rocker Neil Cleary says he wants Doozy, his Tuesday night residency running through August at the Lizard Lounge, to feel like a cross between the classic rock documentary "The Last Waltz" and "The Muppet Show." And if anyone can pull off that balance, Cleary would be a good candidate. He has a knack for writing infectious pop rock tunes undercut with sarcasm and self-deprecation (think Matthew Sweet or Aimee Mann). The residency will feature comedians (Jesse Popp), musicians (Boston's David Champagne), funny musicians (James Kochalka Superstar), and musical comedians (MC Mr. Napkins). Tonight, it's bass player Zack Hickman with singer-songwriter/guitarist Mark Erelli, and folkie Margaret Glaspy. 21+. 8:30 p.m. $5. The Lizard Lounge, 1667 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge. 617-547-0759. www.lizardloungeclub.com
