The Song & Dance
Local band Trauma Cat will take to the stage at The Song & Dance Thursday night. Self-described as “America’s sorriest power trio,” the group is equal parts music act and absurdist performance art troupe. Led by guitarist Ralph Kojig and bassist Roman Pando, their music combines art rock and progressive rock, along with pop and punk. Their latest album “The Truth Doesn’t Live Here” was released in October 2022. Special guests The Dirty Pennies and Monsoon will also perform. Tickets can be purchased online.
When: Oct. 19 at 7 p.m.
Price: $20.29

Middle Ages Brewing Company
Known as the “unstoppable Funk Hip Hop dance party,” Sophistafunk is headlining a concert at Middle Ages Brewing Company Friday night. Behind frontman Jack Brown and bassist Adam Gold, the band mixes elements of soul, house and reggae to create their sound. After starting out playing underground festivals, Sophistafunk gained popularity through a friendship with celebrity chef Guy Fieri, according to their website. You can watch them every Wednesday night performing on Food Network’s “Guy’s Ultimate Game Night.” Jessica Brown from Root Shock, Mike Gantzer from Aqueous and Hayley Jane will also perform. Tickets can be purchased online.
When: Oct. 20 at 8 p.m.
Price: $20 with $4.90 fees / $25 (day of)

Funk ‘n Waffles
Rock band Perpetual Groove will perform at Funk ‘n Waffles on Saturday night. Hailing from Atlanta, Perpetual Groove incorporates a mix of traditional Southern rock, funk, jazzy improvisation, indie rock and synth loops. This past January the band celebrated the 20th anniversary of their breakout album “Sweet Oblivious Antidote” with a remixed and remastered version, which they also released on vinyl for the first time. Since its start in 1997, Perpetual Groove has seen some changes in membership but has been committed to its sound and continued to tour. Tickets for the show can be purchased online.
When: Oct. 21 at 8 p.m. (doors open at 7)
Price: $23.63

The Westcott Theater
R&B group The California Honeydrops will perform at The Westcott Theater on Saturday night. Founded in the subway systems of Oakland, California, the band gained a following through performances at festivals such as Monterey Jazz and Lightning In A Bottle as well as touring with blues icon B.B. King. The group creates a unique sound through their commitment to the art of improvisation. The California Honeydrops have become so comfortable with improv that they do not have set lists for any of their concerts and no two shows are the same. Their current tour is in support of their new album, “Soft Spot.” Tickets can be purchased online.
When: Oct. 21 at 8 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.)
Price: $30 (advanced sale), $70 (Concert Ticket and 524 Lounge Access), $100 (Concert Ticket and 524 Lounge Access with open bar)

Pop Culture and Gunk! will also be performing. Tickets can be purchased online.
