This latest go-around with feature a conversation with, and performance by, the jazz/hip hop fusion powerhouse Cosmic Roots.

During the event, members of the band will sit down with radio personality Nick Brunner for a 30-minute interview to be aired on Solving Sacramento’s “Creativity in the Capital” podcast. After that, the Roots will perform some songs. There will be time for mingling, eating food on-hand and grabbing drinks from the bar. The event runs between 5 and 7 p.m.

Tickets are $12 and include appetizers. Buy your spot here.

Hangout Gigs in an ongoing effort to pull back the curtain on how Solving Sacramento and its media partners do arts journalism, as well as a chance to support one of our favorite music venues in town. Hope to see you there!

The Torch Club is located at 904 15th Street in Downtown Sacramento.
