Now in its second installment, the "Bring That Beat Back" showcase is an amalgamation of All Natural's "Dance to the Drummer's Beat" battle and Groundlift's "Big Bang" producer series. The last bill came through with a stellar line-up of producers and musicians, and this one looks to keep things rolling with yet another young crop of artists including Blu & Exile, Tanya Morgan and Eulorhythmics (Adad and Kenny Keys) - which will be performing songs off its new album, Green St. and Avers Ave. Each group is more than capable of holding a show on its own, so it's just a matter of who you want to see and how early you're willing to get there. If you're undecided or haven't heard some of these acts before, Groundlift has a free compilation available to help get you acquainted. (J. Min)
