Red Light Cafe lists its Wednesday Jazz Jam with the Gordon Vernick Quartet for October 28, 9–11:30 p.m. Doors open at 8. The house group plays first, then welcomes other musicians and singers, making the night less predictable than a fixed concert set.
The venue lists $10 at the door and $5 for performers or students with identification. Red Light Cafe says it exclusively recognizes Eventbrite ticketing for its shows; do not buy from an unrelated resale site.
This is a good option if you want to hear skilled players in a casual environment and do not need a major production. The cafe also advertises a livestream, which is an easy way to sample the atmosphere before driving.
Choose the 9 p.m. jam for a $10 music night, or sample the venue livestream first.
