Two-in-one at Café Luna

Café Luna will be the scene of a musical double-bill beginning at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 14.

Jean Mazzei, who performs what she calls “caffeinated folk rock,” will take the stage first and play for about an hour.

Mazzei will be followed by The Might Chakra Jet, a trio comprised of Island bass guitarist Matt Eggleston, flutist and drummer Larry Lawson and guitarist Rod Smith. The trio refers to its musical style as a blend of “high-energy, self-organizing, chakra rockjazzpop at a scintillating, DNA-repairing, A444 hz.”

There is no cover charge.
