Mumbo Gumbo, $40, 9 p.m., Dec. 31

Davis Odd Fellows Hall, 9 p.m., $40

Mumbo Gumbo’s a wondrous stew of different genres. While many bands claim they can’t be pigeonholed into one style, this band proves the task impossible. With dance, cajun, blues, folk, rock and Afro-Cuban ditties, the band has proven itself adept at playing everything well. Propelled by singers and guitarists Chris Webster and Tracy Walton, tethered in by the able rhythm section of drummer Rick Lotter and Lynn Michael Palmer, and aided by the handy work of guitarist Jon Wood, accordionist Steve Stizzo, and saxophonist Reggy Marks, the band fires on multiple cylinders. Tickets to this New Year’s Eve show include gumbo, cornbread and a champagne toast. 415 2nd Street in Davis, www.mumbogumbo.com.
