Best Bet: Tank and the Bangas @ Arthur Zankel Music Center, 815 N. Broadway, Saratoga Springs, 8-11 p.m.

Tank and The Bangas, hailing from the soulful city of New Orleans, are like a musical gumbo, stirring together funk, soul, hip hop, and spoken word into an irresistibly eclectic sound. At the front is the magnetic Tarriona “Tank” Ball, whose poetic prowess and spirited vocals can turn from a soulful melody to a rapid-fire rap in a heartbeat. This group isn’t just a band; they’re a show, a full-on emotional rollercoaster packed with vibrant storytelling and funky grooves that’ll get your feet moving as much as your heart.
