LabRats

LabRats is a dynamic quartet based in Sacramento composed of multi-instrumentalists, composers, and producers. The group challenges their listener’s perception of “jazz,” as they embody a wide range of styles and influences ranging from Alice Coltrane, J Dilla, Soulquarians, and Sun Ra.

At a live show, the band exudes a wonderful onstage charm as they hypnotize the audience with colorful synth-scapes, syncopated drums, and fierce improvisation. In just under two years, the band has been recognized by NPR, and the Grammy Awards for three different categories, and has participated in major music festivals in Sacramento and San Jose.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Children under 12 are free. Advance tickets are available here, or if the show is not sold out, you may purchase your tickets at the door before the show.

Doors open one half hour before show time. We accept cash or Venmo only at the door.

The Back Room is an all-ages, BYOB (for those 21+) space, dedicated to (mostly) acoustic music of all kinds. You are welcome to bring your own food and beverages. The venue is ADA accessible. If you need more information or have any questions, please call us: #510-381-1997.
