Erev Rav, Weekly Volcano's reader-voted Best Band of 2012, are playing in Olympia for the first time since summer. A few cool changes have taken place: New members include Aaron Wolf on tenor sax from The Brown Edition (another Volcano winner), James Schneider of Hot Club Sandwich on bass and Marchette Dubois on accordion and vocals from Bucharest Drinking Team of Seattle. "This means our fusion continues to receive shots in the arm of great talent - in this case, funk and gypsy swing players," says Daniel Landin, Erev Rav's manager and 12-string extraordinaire. Also on the bill is Fruition, a "jamgrass" band that just spent two months on tour with Greensky and has a fan base that's growing as you read this. The night will be a cross-genre dance vibe, with tons of talent and high-quality musicians, all coming together on the common ground of wanting to rock your world.

EREV RAV, w/Fruition, 8:30 p.m., The Olympia Ballroom, 116 Legion Way, Olympia, $10, $8 students, 360.259.1589
