■ Halloween at the Baltic Kiss with JUNK PARLOR
Junk Parlor is that crazy-rare band whose vibe is so driven by joyful schizophrenia that it transcends easy genre trappings. Born from the wild musical wanderings of Jason Vanderford, renowned for his five years recording and touring with gypsy jazz sensation The Hot Club of San Francisco, their energizing musical collage includes 50’s rock and roll rumbling atop gypsy rhythms, a bit of Gypsy Rhumba, tango, Eastern Euro/Hungarian music, Bellydance, punk…Vanderford was raised on “rock and roll and punk and everything under the sun,” so other sounds are certain to appear as the gypsy junk rockers continue their jam. Tuesday, October 31, 2023, 9:30 p.m. - 11:55 p.m.
