Jimmy Herring Band Jimmy Herring, longtime sideman in bands such as Aquarium Rescue Unit, The Allman Brothers Band and the Dead (and current gunslinger for Widespread Panic) is making his bandleader debut on this tour – and what a band it is. Along with Herring, JHB features drummer Jeff Sipe (Aquarium Rescue Unit), Blue Note Records' own Greg Osby (named by none other than legendary Village Voice jazz writer Frances Davis as one of the best blowers in the business) on saxophone, keyboardist Scott Kinsey (Tribal Tech) and Allman brother Oteil Burbridge on bass. Those who've seen the guitarist in person know that Herring's style – a pepperpot of raga-inspired rags, clean, piercing runs and free improvisation – ought to accent his jazzbo-jam backing band to a T. Visulite Theatre (Timothy C. Davis)

Eymarel This intriguing duo, Mary Frances, (vocals, keys, and bass) and Lee Allen, (drums and electronics), spins electronica into a swirl of trip-hop, R&B, old-timey new wave with bits of funk and jazz floating in and out. Yeah, the whole thing is colorized with '80s synth-pop, but the classically trained duo also has an ear for bopping pop numbers that sound as if played by a bigger band. Frances' vocals are akin to Tori Amos out clubbing, in a dance club, that is. With Bitch Please. Double Door Inn (Samir Shukla)
