Tennessee's Christabel & the Jons perform a lively acoustic fusion of swinging Southern blues and gypsy folk music marked by the sultry, soulful vocals of singer-songwriter-frontwoman Christa DeCicco. The quartet is currently on tour with the Two Man Gentlemen Band, a New York City bass-and-banjo duo that presents a vaudeville-style show, complete with dueling kazoos and foot percussion. Both bands play New World Brewery this Thursday night; local singer-songwriter Rebekah Pulley provides support. 10 p.m., 1313 Eighth Ave. E., Ybor City, $8, 813-248-4969.
