AN EVENING WITH EUFORQUESTRA @ 9:00pm
Eufórquestra is a seven member outfit from Fort Collins, CO. The band’s own brand of high-intensity global dance music is a percussion and horn-driven blend that fuses Afrobeat, reggae, dub, funk, rock, soca and highlife with traditional sounds from Cuba, Brazil, West Africa and beyond. This is cutting edge music that ignites dance floors across the country with a sound that “explodes, dances and melts in your ear with sheer bliss” (Chris M. Slawecki; www.allaboutjazz.com). $8. PLEASE NOTE: This was originally a double bill with Lagos Roots Afrobeat Ensemble, but due to unforeseen circumstances Lagos Roots has had to cancel their tour last minute. Thus, we will have two hot sets from Euforquestra!

THE HENHOUSE PROWLERS, LEFT COAST COUNTRY @ 9:00pm
Chicago’s Henhouse Prowlers are a scorching bluegrass quartet whose accolades include winning the Rockygrass Band Competition and competing in the Telluride Bluegrass Fest Band Competition! Dedicated equally to tradition and innovation, The Henhouse Prowlers center their sound on that of the formative years of bluegrass, while keeping their pulse on today by covering contemporary topics in a largely original repertoire. The group’s prolific songwriting provides entree to twenty-first century topics not typically tackled by traditional bluegrass groups. At the same time, the Prowlers wear the Bill Monroe mantle with spit and polish, performing in suit-and-tie in a tightly choreographed, one-mic stage setting. Combining passion, confidence and flair with instrumental and vocal prowess, the Prowlers deliver dynamic bluegrass with an edge. PDX’s Left Coast Country get the pot stirring early, so don’t be late! $8

MONOPHONICS, THE MAX RIBNER BAND @ 9:00pm
Over the past seven years, The Monophonics have staked their claim as California’s premier psychedelic soul band. Raised amid the Bay Area’s rich musical culture, Monophonics has proudly carried on the tradition of music native to their hometown, which flourished during the birth of psychedelia. The Monophonics were formed in 2005; originally an instrumental ensemble comprised of guitarist Ian McDonald, bassist Myles O’Mahony, saxophonist Alex Baky, trumpeter Ryan Scott, and drummer Austin Bohlman, the band has recently added the dynamic soul vocals of keyboardist Kelly Finnigan. The result is a psychedelic soul & heavy funk sound, which harks back to the styling of the late 60′s and early 70′s, all while keeping its feet planted in the present. MRB, featuring prolific horn player Max Ribner (Medicine for the People, Devin Phillips Band), kicks the evening off and keeps the funky vibe going. $8

DANNY BARNES, FRUITION @ 9:00pm
Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and genre-bending artists of his craft, Barnes’ musical interests are both varied and adventurous, and he incorporates that versatility into a progressive approach to an instrument that is musically polarizing and steeped in tradition. Although he demonstrates an appreciation for the history of the bluegrass, country, and folk music from which the banjo’s reputation was born, his inventive take is what truly separates him from his contemporaries…using the banjo as his ‘weapon of choice’ to play non-traditional music like rock, fusion, and jazz with electronic percussion and loop elements. Tonight he is joined by PDX’s beloved acoustic soul/newgrass pioneers, Fruition. $10
