The show will also feature the "enviro-cowboy" lounge music of Children of Celebrities; the Joplin-esque sound of rhythm and blues band CURL; and the soulful harmonies of the Peet Vuur Band.

It takes place at St. Anne's auditorium, 835 Humboldt St.. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $20 available at Lyle's Place, Spiral Café, Larsen Music, Guitars Plus, or Mexican House of Spice.
