Hear cellist

Shana Tucker, 8 p.m. March 26, Clover School District Auditorium, 1625 S.C. 55 E., Clover. Tucker has termed her music Chamber Soul for its dual jazz and classical pedigrees, knotted by the thrum and moan of her cello. “I can’t deny the classical training; it inspires my cello sensibilities. But I like the thump of walking blues and old timey bass lines. It’s like a delicious coffee blend, bold and robust with subtle undertones of bittersweet. Something you can’t quite place, but it’s still good.” Tickets: $15. 803-222-8018; clover.k12.sc.us/csd
