Weekly series this weekend

Sunday — Hoodoo Soul Band at Rumba Café
9:00 PM · Every Sunday · Evidenced by JamBase dated Sunday listings at Rumba Cafe on Oct 11 2026 (9:00 PM) and Oct 18 2026, Bandsintown's Rumba venue description ('hosts the beloved Sunday night Hoodoo Soul Band'), and Rumba's own site description. Dated instances before Oct 22 are outside the event window, so the residency is recorded here rather than as extrapolated dated events.
