The Tune Stranglers, a five-man band that plays a wide range of music, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Auburn Avenue Theater, 10 Auburn Ave.

Recently referred to as “a circus that plays music”, the Tune Stranglers have been entertaining audiences across the West since 2003. With a smorgasbord of stringed instruments, washboard and the occasional clarinet, they perform hot jazz and old-timey music of the 1920s and ’30s.

The group plays everything from hot jazz to slow blues, country melodies and swingin’ rhythms, cowgirl yodelin’ to uptown croonin’.

Tickets are $17, $15 college students. Tickets are available through Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation, 253-931-3043, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., or online at www.brownpapertickets.com.
