Hailing from D.C. with trip-hop and acid jazz roots, producer-duo Thievery Corporation (Rob Garza and Eric Hilton) have increasingly incorporated pan-global sounds into their electronic-based sets over the past 25 years. With live instrumentation and vocals, their stage performances have garnered massive praise for shows imbued with eccentric yet complementary stylings. Whether a particular song is saturated with bossa nova, reggae, hip-hop, or Afrobeat influences, the vibes are always soulful—and made for the people of Earth en masse. With themes of politics and protest woven throughout their oeuvre, Thievery Corporation have amassed an enormous following, and this second show added by popular demand proves it.
Tuesday 5/14. $40–65, 8pm. The Jefferson Theater, 110 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. jeffersontheater.com
