Jazz at the Oxford: Mary Stallings Quartet
MUSIC—To the rhythmic grooves of Mel Brown's drums, the ivory-tickling of Tony Pacini and the deep-thumping beats of bassist Ed Bennett, jazz vocalist Mary Stallings sends her voice skyward. Her upbringing in gospel choirs, combined with her schooling in the night clubs of San Francisco, create an awesome, joyous noise. 8:15 pm The Oxford Hotel. 10 NW Minnesota Ave. $49.
sunday 23
Diego's Umbrella
MUSIC—Hailing from the hazy, crazy streets of San Francisco, the six dudes who huddle under this umbrella of gypsy rock often wear matching homemade outfits and have been known to take the stage without set lists. They are a vibrant combination of European gypsy music, Spanish flamenco, ska with a hint of polka rhythms, all with a twist of pop and rock. 8 pm. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., $8 at benticket.com, $10 at door.
sunday 23
Modern Grass
MUSIC—Bluegrass has more evolutionary trails and branches than reptiles and turtles put together. Modern Grass, as in the Nova Scotian band's name, falls into the category of "new-grass," a sound importing, of course traditional banjo picking and crooning about trains and lost lovers, but also part Yanni, part fusion. Yeah, new-grass. 7 pm. String Theory Music, limited seating, contact [email protected] or 541-678-0257. $10.
wednesday 26
