TONIGHT
Caravan Of Thieves
The Bridgeport, Conn., band brings something unique to the stage. Starting with a Gypsy jazz base, this acoustic act delves into pop with circus melodies and creepy themes (“Raise The Dead,” for example) to go along with expert instrumental work that sometimes takes on a Spike Jones feel. And the visual vibe borders on steampunk.
