Keegan Matthews, keyboardist for Orlando band Leisure Chief, teams up with Juna Serita on electric bass and drummer Derek Engstrom for trio set to play original jazzy-funk, plus covers of Thundercat, Herbie Hancock, and Prince during Ella’s usually tasty Soul Food Sunday in Seminole Heights. Though the show is free, make a reservation and order massive amounts of smoked meats.
If you’re a fan of the soul-fusion Leisure Chief brings over from Orange County, the whole band is playing vagina-forward Tampa Heights bar Shuffle on Saturday, Sept. 18 with the jazz trio La Lucha.
