BRAD ALLEN: MISSICAN >>>

What’s in a name? For Afrissippi, a lot. It’s what happens when West African music meets Mississippi blues.

The group from Oxford, Miss., will drop in on The Spar tonight, when it will share its original mix of North Mississippi blues and African harmonies, melodies and rhythms.

[The Spar, 7 p.m, 2121 N. 30th St., Tacoma, 253.272.2122]
