Unless you’ve lived in one of Chicago’s clubs, Mark Farina is not a household name. The 50-year-old producer, however, has carved out a nice niche for himself thanks to his brand of Windy City house, acid jazz and downtempo sounds. He’s at The Kennedy on Friday to kick off another solid Bay area weekend of club shows.
Mark Farina w/Coro/Austen Van Der Bleek. Fri., July 19, 9 p.m. $15-$20. The Kennedy, Tampa. eventbrite.com.
