Lots going on tonight for Providence Sound Session. In fact, I’m worried to say anything about the Black Rep’s programming tonight because the joint is bananas every Wednesday. As I write this Marc Cary is tearing it up in the lounge at the Xxodus Café, playing his blend of groove-inspired contemporary Jazz. At 9PM resident Latin Jazz & Salsa master, Carlos De Leon, and his UN Band, hit the stage for a special beefed up big-band Sound Session performance. He’s followed by another excellent local Salsa band, Manolo Mairena & Curubande, at 11PM. DJ Papo Campbell is on the new Red Bull DJ table (courtesy of Res Bull and the lovely folks over at The Steel Yard). ($15)

Thankfully there are enough women strumming and pounding the keys at AS220 tonight to balance out the testostertones weighing down the rest of tonight’s festivities (and more to come tomorrow night at The Firehouse). Leah Carlson, Kim Lamothe, Allysen Callery and the Land of Nod, and Alex throw down on Empire St. tonight. ($6)

It smells like a dance party brewing over at The Blackstone. With Spanish Dancer, Spogga and I Am The Dream out of NY on the ticket, how can’t it be? Also featuring Dearastazazel (FL), Devin Lima and The Cadbury Diesel (NY). ($3 - $5)

In the true spirit of the festival the folks of Fatty McGees is mashing up great bar food and games with off-the-chain spoken word. Props to performers Inphynit, S ata “Lady DuBB” Jallah, Spittin’ Images, Tiger Lily, and more. (FREE - $5)

Local 121’s speakeasy hosts Wednesday resident TFO/Tim O’Keefe and The Cozy Collective. Pure unabridged experimentation at its best. That’s what you get with such a talented bunch of musicians though! Speaking of talented musicians, don’t miss Micah Jackson in the speakeasy tomorrow night with The New Lewiss, in hot pants. Oh yeah: (FREE - $5)

George Clinton plays his quarterly performance at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel tonight, in case you have an urge to get down with your bad self and watch the best lil’ be-diapered funk escapade this side of the Woonasquatucket. ($25)

Cape Verdian wunderking of guitar Noah Andrade touches down at Ruth’s Chris. Get your steak on with the best in AfroBeat Roots. (Price of a drink at the bar?)

Mad left-of-center, cerebral folk goin’ down at Tazza: Bassment Forts, Nicky P, John Tierney, Kris Hansen, Christopher Rosenquest, The Rach, and Orcabeat. ($3 - $5)

Classic folk with Providence multi-instrumentalists Low Anthem and blog-beloved Deer Tick happening in the basement of SS’08 sponsor Trinity Beer’s spiritual home, Trinity Brew House. (FREE - $5)
