Jonathan Scales Fourchestra Channeling jazz drummers via steel pan drums, Scales fuses multi genres – jazz fusion, funk, blues, reggae, and even traditional rhythms of India – into his tropical mélange. Call it island jazz if you will but with drummer Scales' inventive rhythmic patterns, the lowly steel pan drums enter a whole new realm of possibilities. With Andrew Hoover.

INCOGNITO MOSQUITO Hailing from the one-and-only Queen City, this foursome has been changing the local music scene since 2003 after the group played its first unrehearsed show. Ansley Wynn, William Stone, Ryan Persaud and Chad Thompson had never played together, but shocked crowds, and themselves, with their instant chemistry. Since then, the band has been known to "bring the party" everywhere they go, so lace up your shoes and get ready for a night of playful, original tunes. Neighborhood Theatre (Jill Jacobs)
