Tom Rigney & Flambeau and Dance Lesson with Mike Ferketich

When not globetrotting (last year they covered ground from Alaska to Alviso Slough to a Caribbean New Year’s cruise), they hold court here almost monthly, playing Rigney’s own tunes and their usual high-energy mix of Louisiana Cajun, zydeco, New Orleans R&B and down-home blues favorites.
When: Tuesday, Dec. 17, 8-11:30 p.m.
Where: Ashkenaz Music & Dance Community Center, 1317 San Pablo Ave.
