Greyboy Allstars headline SCAD new alumni show

California’s groove-heavy Greyboy Allstars will headline SCAD’s “New Alumni Concert” Friday, May 31 in Forsyth Park.

The jazz/funk band, formed 10 years ago by DJ Andreas Stevens and tenor sax player Karl Denson, have a new album out (minus Stevens, the original “DJ Greyboy”): Inland Emperor, says allmusic.com, is “a menagerie of sounds that are so evocative and mood-setting, they almost work as a soundtrack to a film.”

Also on the bill for the school’s end-of-semester show are Atlanta’s Gringo Star, a longtime Savannah favorite, and R&B singer, songwriter and producer Mayer Hawthorne.

The 6 p.m. concert is free and open to the public.
