TONIGHT
The Broadcast
Funky, keyboard-soaked jams and a killer vocalist in Caitlin Krisko make this Asheville, N.C., band a must-catch.
Details: 10 p.m. 622 North, Blacksburg. $5. 951-1022, facebook.com/622North, reverbnation.com/TheBroadcastMusic
FRIDAY
Rob Hornfeck Trio
With Kevin So
Rob Hornfeck Enterprise, a Fairfax-based prog-rock/jam outfit, boils it down to a trio on this gig. Opening act So plays keyboards with Keb’ Mo,’ but we think they should start a duo called So and Mo.
