Mal-O-Dua
United by their love of Romani-French jazz composer Django Reinhardt, guitarists Chris Ruppenthal and Cedric Baetche play their own delightful mix of hot gypsy swing and fingerpick-y Hawaiian music. French influences take center stage on their new album, Au Nouveau Chat Noir, which the duo will play in full at both the Ohio (Thursday, April 25, 7:30 pm) and for their first outdoor patio concert of the season at Mickey’s Tavern (Thursday, May 2, 5:30 pm).
