While most people prefer bands that sound the same live as they do in recordings, others prefer artists that stretch the boundaries of their songs to create new music in the moment. Enter the first ever Toledo Jam Fest. Toledo’s own Boogie Matrix Mechanism will team up with fellow jam-rockers from Muncie, Indiana, Glostik Willy and local acts The Vintage Mojo and The Happy Little Trees for a night of psychedelic rock at the Rocket Bar. The event will also feature vending and live painting from local artists—it’s free to set up a booth and all potential vendors are welcome to participate. Toledo Jam Fest’s combination of live music, art and community makes this inaugural event the place to be—so let’s get weird. 9pm. $7 advance / $10 doors. Rocket Bar, 135 S. Byrne Rd. 419-536-2582.—GMK
