TAE & The Neighborly are back at the Myrna Loy on Thursday, October 1, and the listing makes a point of noting the Wisconsin-based five-piece is returning by popular demand — meaning Helena already knows what it's getting into.

The band is built around TAE's lead vocals, which anchor a sound the group describes as pop and funk R&B with a laid-back rock edge. The backing band brings funk-heavy bass lines together with pedal steel, synth, and guitar — an unusual combination that gives the group a wider sonic range than most acts working in the R&B lane.

Tickets are $25. The Myrna Loy is located on Lawrence Street and serves as one of Helena's primary venues for touring acts of this size. Doors and set times should be confirmed with the venue ahead of the show.
