ROCK—Brooklyn-based Miss Tess’s playful, lilting voice transports listeners back to smoky jazz lounges of yesteryear while her band brings a folk-rock flair. Perfect music for picnicking on gingham or dancing with a cardigan-clad sweetheart, Miss Tess and the Talkbacks blend retro and modern sounds with cute but not kitschy effect.

8 pm. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr. $5.
