The lone act of the night devoid of signifiers like "indie" and "punk rock," Donné Roberts was invigorating. The prolific and eclectic musician presented a unique amalgam of funk and calypso that had an unsuspecting audience swaying in appreciation of his Afro-tinged, multicultural musical stew. Roberts's band was bouncy and bubbly, deftly supporting his torrent of eye-popping guitar playing and good vibes, leading the audience through foreign-tongued singalongs and handclaps.
