Daptone Presents: Soul Sessions at Cabaret Jazz

If you were a fan of The Get Back—the late, great First Friday-adjacent soul and R&B party that made us feel cooler than we actually are—then you’ll love this event, presented by Brooklyn-based indie label Daptone Records. That name should be familiar to anyone who’s leaned over DJ John Doe’s shoulder during a Get Back set; it’s the imprint of such modern-day luminaries as The Budos Band and the late, great Sharon Jones (& The Dap-Kings). Point is, Daptone knows its stuff—and when it suggests that you check out a couple of bands, you oughta listen with both ears.

SoCal-based Los Yesterdays actually includes some pre-existing Daptones DNA: Singer Victor Benavides and drummer Gabriel Rowland are jamming with two former Dap-Kings, bassist Gabe “Bosco Mann” Roth and guitarist Tom “TNT” Brenneck. The doo-wop-inspired Thee Sinseers play it as heartfelt and genuine as their name. Add one beloved local soul DJ to the mix— you guessed it, John Doe—and you’ve got one killer old-school soul showcase. Get back, indeed. March 23, 4:30 & 7:30 p.m., $35-$55, Smith Center. –Geoff Carter

Amyl and The Sniffers at Bunkhouse

Singer Amy Taylor helms this Aussie quartet, named for the party drug amyl nitrite (aka poppers). Part riot grrrl, part glam-rock, the band earned raves opening for King Gizzard and is set to drop LP No. 1 soon. With Gymshorts, No Tides. March 24, 9 p.m., $10-$15. –Leslie Ventura
