POSTPONED: Bowlive Feat. Soulive, George Porter Jr. & DJ Logic

*Update: As part of a response to COVID-19, Brooklyn Bowl Nashville has postponed its opening to a new date TBA.

Saturday’s show is the first public event at the new outpost of the successful New York bowling alley and venue Brooklyn Bowl, down by the home of the Nashville Sounds. For that reason alone, you might be inclined to swing by just to check it out, but the show onstage is virtually guaranteed to please. On one arm of the double-headliner bill is Soulive, a trio that’s been carrying the banner for instrumental funk and soul-jazz since 1999 and has been a festival staple for nearly that long. The group’s core is drummer Alan Evans, his keyboardist brother Neal Evans and their friend, underrated guitarist Eric Krasno, but they’re widely known for their collaborative nature. Also playing is George Porter Jr., who helped invent New Orleans funk as bassist of The Meters. And don’t snooze between sets: Manning the decks will be esteemed soul-jazz-loving turntablist DJ Logic. 8 p.m. at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville, 925 Third Ave. N. STEPHEN TRAGESER
