On June 10 at 9 p.m., instrumental rare groove merchants the Fire Eaters will perform at The Turquoise. The band is influenced by late-1960s and early-1970s soul, jazz and funk. They play originals and choice covers of classics like “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy,” each sounding like they come from an ultra hip, 1970s action film, preferably a chase scene. The Fire Eaters specialize in tunes that are all immensely danceable and are an excellent showcase for their virtuoso performances. The six-piece group is comprised of a cast of local all-stars whose collective resume includes time in such notables as Genius of Soul, Society! and Silverleaf. Meanwhile, three Fire Eaters are also members of the musically like-minded Styletones. As an instrumental combo, a lot of focus falls on keyboardist Tim Felten and guitarist Deron Gant, with saxophonist Gabriel Sundy adding superb accents and solos. However, as great as all the musicians are, the band’s songs depend on a hard-hitting groove, and here they have one of the keys to their sound; the rhythm section of Jesse Bowen and drummer Jake Najor, rock-solid stand outs. Fans of jazz and soul will instantly consider the Fire Eaters one of their favorites on the local club scene, but anyone who enjoys music with a funky beat and sterling musicianship will want to see this band. The Fire Eaters: Friday, June 10, at Café-Bar Europa, 873 Turqouise St., 9 p.m., 21 and up, www.theturquoise.com.
