Jackson Free Press

Local indie-pop, all-ages extravaganza is on this Monday night at Hal & Mal's, as The Rockwells return to the Red Room with King Elementary and the Louisiana Hip-Hop newcomer Futuro Boots. 8 p.m. $5. With all the catchy hooks, these three are well worth the price of admission, and some of the most promising young bands on the scene. You may have heard that King Elementary was recently signed to bigtime Capital Records. See and support all our local talent as they make their start for rock stardom. At any of these alcohol-free, all ages line-ups you'll see why the passion and talent of these kids have made these shows the hottest thing going in Jackson. With every gig they get better and better. They bring new possibility for the future of the local music scene. Support them whenever and however you can.

Every Tuesday in December from 4:30-6:30 p.m. you can catch free jazz by Raphael Semmes and Ezra Brown at Fusion Coffeehouse on Highland Colony Parkway in Ridgeland. An hour later you can travel down to the Hunt Club at the Ramada Inn on Ellis Avenue, and spend your whole evening with Ezra (also free).
