Comprised of former members of the mixed-gender, mixed-sexuality band Hercules and Love Affair, Jessica 6 offers a similarly infectious blend of disco, soul and R&B that appeals to a mixed crowd. Fresh from performing at San Francisco Pride, the trio of transgender vocalists Nomi Ruiz, Andrew Raposo and Morgan Wiley tours in support of its new debut album See The Light. Jessica 6 opens for Xylos, another New York City band making eccentric pop, this time with a strong Kate Bush bent. Wednesday, July 27, at 8:30 p.m. The Red & The Black, 1212 H Street NE. Tickets $8 in advance. Call 202-399-3201 or visit redandblackbar.com.
