The powerhouse funk outfit Turkuaz performs March 14, with opening act, San Francisco funk and psychedelic-soul band Con Brio. Doors, 7:30 p.m.; show, 8 p.m. All ages. Tickets $25 for GA; $35 and $45 for preferred seating.

Turkuaz has become one of Brooklyn’s freshest exports — nine charismatic men and women brightly outfitted to have their colorful nature match their expressive voice.

The dynamic group is a rock band at its core – but it sounds blends soul with potent funk grooves. Since hitting the road in 2012, Turkuaz has released a handful of albums, canvassed the U.S. more times over, and continue to gather devoted listeners along the way.

A quickly addictive pulse coupled with a reputation for their trademark “Powerfunk” sound has earned steadily growing attention across the nation. Just over the past two years, the band has made impactful appearances at Bonnaroo, Red Rocks, Lock’n, Mountain Jam, and have been filling rooms coast to coast from Terminal 5 in New York to The Fillmore in San Francisco.

Drawing from the conventions that have ignited its existence and using that spark to forge its sword, Turkuaz is a band that will make anyone move to their familiar beat, yet stay intrigued by an ability to explore its complex character.

Check out the video for “On the Run” for a taste of their sound:

Nashville singer-songwriter Anderson East, with opening act, folks-blues singer J.S. Ondara, debuts at Club Red on March 18. Doors, 7:30 p.m.; show. 8 p.m. All ages. Tickets $25.

Anderson East is the humble type, the sort of man who chalks up his success to loads of good fortune. But the singer-songwriter has earned his accolades. One of music’s most compelling young artists, East is an unflinching and inimitable talent. Best exemplified on his breakout 2015 debut album, Delilah, the Alabama-native wields an unwavering and potent, ever-husky voice.

And as evident on standout tracks including “Satisfy Me” and “Devil In Me,” East is able to effortlessly spin tales of tumult and triumph in equal measure. That’s of course to say nothing of the brute force with which the man performs — fiery and forceful, as much a wily preacher as a patient poet, he has become one of music’s must-see live act.

Having recently completed a forthcoming new album with producer Dave Cobb at Nashville’s famed RCA Studio A, and preparing to release its first single later this summer, East is hitting the road this summer with Chris Stapleton on the singer’s “All-American Road Show.” What NPR Music called a ” …eclectic, fully formed debut album,” Delilah was East’s launching pad.

But he hardly slowed down since: over the previous two years, the gritty-blues and-soul-toasting singer toured relentlessly. In the process, via his sold-out headline shows and from serving as support for monumental artists including Sturgill Simpson and Jason Isbell, East amassed a dedicated, organic fan base.
