For the last show of its summer 2015 series At The Inn, Brooklyn arts organization HYPNOCRAFT – in collaboration with The Deli – will present two intriguing new acts early next week. Inspired by such vibrant genres as cumbia and spaghetti-Western and featuring the simply striking voice of frontwoman Kamala Sankaram, Brooklyn quintet Bombay Rickey makes pleasantly strange music. The band put out its debut album ‘Cinefonia’ last September, and one hopes Sankaram and friends will perform the beguiling songs from that record. Syracuse-hailing, Brooklyn-based trumpeter Wayne Tucker is perhaps more on the traditional side with his elegant playing and smooth melodies but the late-twenties musician has his own musicial ideas. As seen in the trailer for his album ‘When I Was a Child,’ the SUNY Purchase-educated artist wants to "evoke nostalgia," as he says, and his piano-twinkled track "Polka Dots And Moonbeams" (streaming below) majestically does just that. Bombay Rickey and Wayne Tucker perform at The Manhattan Inn on Monday (9.14).- Zach Weg
