Boot & Saddle plays host this evening with a wide-reaching and varied sonic combination. The expansive Mercury Radio Theater creates a theatrical feel, developing a broad range of compositions through the intermingling of horns, strings, accordion, etc. that is increasingly jubilant and yet incorporates flourishes of creepy scenery, at these odd, timely moments. This will lay the groundwork for the steady churning eclectic Balkan-beat of West Philadelphia Orchestra, whose all-hands-on-deck sound dishes out a hypnotic dance groove. There’s a reason why they remain a staple in the Philly music scene and an oftentimes a go-to band for a good time at community events. It’s your post-Halloween freak out. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8pm, $12, 21+ – Michael Colavita
