Dion Paci and Bob Lovelace have bonded over music since the young age of 6. And throughout their childhood and adolescence, they have both studied under local guitar guru Bob Neuburger honing their skills in progressive rock/jazz and jam band/blues based music while sharing the bill with their different bands. After going their separate paths in college, both established their foothold on two different sides of the country – Paci in the East and Lovelace in the West. Now the duo has gotten together to form the collaboration that has been building for over two decades, and when they perform at The M Room tonight, they will have the serious players that you’d want for this momentous occasion. G. Calvin Weston earned his musical prowess by touring extensively in North America and Europe with Ornette Colemans Prime Time Band at just the ripe age of 17. Since then, the no nonsense drummer has extended his skills to projects with talented performer like Billy Martin (Medeski Martin and Wood), Tricky, and Vernon Reid. Tonight he’ll definitely be in his element, especially when legendary keyboardist Bernie Worrell, who is a founding member of Parliament-Funkadelic and former Talking Heads conspirator, takes the stage. Their collaboration is destined to take a funky ride through outer space. The M Room, 15 W. Girard Ave., 8pm, $15, 21+ – Bill McThrill
