One show I was glad I caught, June 22, as I missed them last time was Australia’s Oka, who returned to the Tongue N Groove. I arrived in the middle of a hypnotic set which had the dance floor filled with 80-90 free spirits swaying to a mesmerizing percussive beat.

Oka was anchored by a rock steady drummer as the lead singer played slide didgeridoo and added an array of percussion to his Aussie soundscape.

 The other member supplemented slide acoustic guitar with a tiny saxophone. They gelled perfectly and kept the crowd dancing.
