EZ Kewl
This five-piece band calls its sound jazzy music — what you get when you put rocking rhythm and blues and jazz together. The resulting “blend” of cool music goes well with cocktails, any kind of beer, Northern California wine, a damn good cup of coffee, a spot of tea, a good woman, a bad man or just sitting back groovin’.” 6:30 p.m. Murphy’s Irish Pub. 935.0660.

Adam Traum & the Traumatics
The menu for Murphy’s weekly after-Farmers Market party includes BBQ oysters and, from Traum’s tight trio, healthy servings of Americana, blues and folk. 7 p.m. Murphy’s Irish Pub. 935.0660.
