What on earth? The band’s name is Earthish Uncle Angelica X. That’s got to spark your curiosity, right? Fronted by Charlottesville wunderkind Will Evans, EUAX’s music ranges from avant-garde jazz to indie-rock, with influences that include Ornette Coleman, Frank Ocean, and Sonic Youth. The group’s rotating cast of characters most often sees Evans on trumpet, Tim Turner on sax, Olivia Hadley on trombone, Brett Jones on guitar, Kris Monson on bass,
and Kofi Shepsu on drums.
Friday 8/6, $15, 8pm. The Front Porch, 221 E. Water St. frontporchcville.org.
