Jackson Hole, Wyoming - Jazz-funk improvisational badass – one of the only musicians you’ll see handling a seven-string guitar with ease – Charlie Hunter and his trio will rock the Knotty Pine in Sunday. In a career spanning 18 years, 14 albums, and a dozen side projects, including Garage A Trois, Hunter just put out his first self-released disc, Baboon Strength. The agile performer simultaneously plays bass lines, rhythm guitar and solos on his instrument. Being heavily inspired from classic organists like Jimmy Smith, he utilizes a Leslie rotary speaker simulator to produce a sound similar to that of a Hammond organ.  Hunter plays 10 p.m., Sunday at the Knotty. 208-787-2866.

Local duo Thomas Turiano on guitar and vocalist Valerie Seaberg infuse soul into a repertoire that spans jazz, cool blues, R&B and contemporary folk. Turiano’s percussive-style guitar-fingering and bass-driven chord voicings blend well with Seaburg’s sultry alto. Their songlist is a fun snapshot of American music forms, covering Bonnie Raitt, Rory Block, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Eva Cassidy, and Van Morrison and more. Check them out at 8 p.m. at Alpine Wines in Driggs. Free.
