A CAPPELLA FOLK
Sweet Honey in the Rock
Self-dubbed as progressive roots a cappella, this group has seen many incarnations since forming in 1973. While the group is categorized as 20th century gospel, they incorporate blues, jazz and African influences into the mix. In other words, they have no limits. With 18 totally diverse records to their credit, Sweet Honey has been bestowed with countless awards. Their latest, Expeience…101, was nominated for another Grammy in 2007. The disc, like past works, is diversely intoxicating and political in nature. â€" Tony Engelhart

THE STAGE
Dance 2008
Well, it’s almost here. The end of the season. No more plays, no more dance recitals, no more artsy nothin’ â€" ever. OK, not ever. However, it will be one looonnng summer of American Idol reruns, I tell you what. How about one more, just for old time’s sake? Pacific Lutheran University Dance Ensemble presents Dance 2008, a collection of dances in the style of jazz, modern, ballet and hip-hop. In all, the performance features 13 choreographers, 57 dancers and musicians and that dude working the lights. Aaahh, let’s end the season by giving each other a big hug. â€" Suzy Stump

REGGAE
Alex Duncan
Juno nightclub’s opening night will fill the massive venue with the smooth sounds of Alex Duncan, who’s been putting it down for more than a decade. Originally from the Island of St. Kitts, Duncan was lead vocalist for Seattle ensemble Jumbalassy, and has taken home awards for Best World/Ethnic band and Best World/Ethnic album. He counts Bob Marley, New Edition and Buju Banton among his influences, and it shows. â€" Paul Schrag

ROCK
Mos Generator
The term “stoner rock” is meant to describe slow, chugging, ’70s throwback style licks â€" loud and thick, and heavy on the facial hair. Mos Generator often gets labeled “stoner rock,” and going by what the genre is supposed to imply, I suppose they fit the bill.

From the damp reaches of Port Orchard, Mos Generator is three dudes with plenty of hair and plenty of respect for Sabbath born rock and roll. They bow at the throne of all things heavy, and have an 8-year career going that’s proof people are into the mud they’re slinging. â€" Matt Driscoll
[Hell’s Kitchen, Mos Generator, Witchburn, The Valley, Bacchus, 9 p.m.. $5, 3829 Sixth Ave, Tacoma, 253.759.6003]
