JASON RICCI & NEW BLOOD The most exciting and revolutionary new harp player in the often stale blues-rock genre lists the Pixies and Sun Ra (whom he covers on his sizzling recent release) along with Little Walter as influences, but that only scratches the surface of his driving, eclectic style. He truly is pushing the once-lowly "Mississippi saxophone" to Hendrix-like dimensions, combining blues, psychedelia, hard rock and jazz in dynamic, colorful directions that are guaranteed to blow the roof off this intimate OTP venue. Ticket price TBA. 9 p.m. Darwin's. 770-578-6872. www.darwinsblues.com.
