7:30pm Pop Music

The Dixie Chicks are still fighting the fight for artists’ rights, but they’ve settled enough of their differences with their own record label to move ahead with the release of their long-delayed third album, “Home,” which arrives in stores Aug. 27. Local fans have a chance to preview some of the new material and hear some previous hits acoustic-style tonight and Friday at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, where the trio is taping an NBC special slated to air this fall. Concert-goers are advised to “dress as if you were going out on the town on a Saturday night ... fancy for television.”

Dixie Chicks, Kodak Theatre, 6801 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood. Tonight and Friday, 7:30 p.m. $20. (323) 308-6363.

8pm Jazz

Trumpeter Marcus Printup is one of jazz’s young lions who emerged in the 1990s. He has recorded with the likes of Marcus Roberts, Carl Allen, Eric Reed and Dianne Reeves, among others, and has been a member of Wynton Marsalis’ Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra since 1994. His latest recording, “The New Boogaloo,” has been described as hard swinging and full of blues feeling, but not as overtly R&B-flavored; as its title might suggest. Printup will be working at the Jazz Bakery this weekend with Walter Blanding Jr. on sax, Eric Lewis on piano, Vicente Archer on bass, and Donald Edwards on drums, the same lineup (minus trombonist Wycliffe Gordon) on his CD.

Marcus Printup, The Jazz Bakery, 3233 Helms Ave., Culver City. Tonight to Sunday, 8 and 9:30 p.m. $25. (310) 271-9039.

It’s the “full monty” and then some: “Puppetry of the Penis,” the unlikely, international hit--though definitely not for everyone--uses the “ancient Australian art of genital origami” in its West Coast premiere. The two-man, full-frontal romp is performed by Aussies Simon Morley, whose idea it was, and his partner in puppetry, David Friend.

“Puppetry of the Penis,” Coronet Theatre, 366 N. La Cienega Blvd., L.A. Nudity; not recommended for children. Tuesdays to Thursdays, 8 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays, 7 and 9:30 p.m.; Sundays, 7 p.m. Runs indefinitely. $35.50 to $39.50. (310) 657-7377.

“Staggering Toward America,” chronicles Rik Reppe’s post-9/11 quest to discover what it means to be an American. In his pickup truck, with a sleeping bag and a tent, Reppe took a tour of the U.S., from L.A. to the Pentagon, the World Trade Center and western Pennsylvania. His solo show is made up of stories of the people he met along the way. Opening night proceeds will go to the Sipesville, Penn., Volunteer Fire Dept.

“Staggering Toward America,” Globe Playhouse, 1107 N. Kings Road, West Hollywood, 8 p.m. Regular schedule: Thursdays to

Sundays, 8 p.m. Ends Sept. 15. $25. (310) 941-2063.
