Shakeh will bring her adult contemporary eclectic music to the Paso Wine Centre on Friday, Oct. 15, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. (1240 Park St.; 239-9156). “With a voice full of depth and complex emotions, this singer-songwriter spins musical tales that take the listener on a unique journey,” according to her bio. “Her candid poetic lyrics woven over tribal beats (“Blue Ivory”), playful, jazzy saxophone melodies (“Wherever the Loving Takes Us”), and sterling rock/blues guitar and piano textures (“Keep Talkin’ Bout Me”) melt together into a tantalizing seductive experience.” She’s touring in support of her fourth CD Keep Talkin’ Bout Me. While you’re soaking up the tunes, you can sample more than 50 different wines at the dispensary, with 100 more available by the bottle. - New Times
