Fri. June 6 Tonight might be a good one to check out the new Berklee College student-run cafe, appropirately called Cafe 939 - as that's its number on Boylston. (We've noticed a lot of this lately; name your venue after the street number, minimize anyone's confusion about location.) On Friday, June 6 the Matt Zeiner Band makes Boston debut with Dirty Dozen Brass' guitarist Jamie McLean (and his band) and Jenn Bostic. The Matt Zeiner Band, described recently by the Hartford Advocate as "the best thing to happen to Hartford in a while" - we hope that's not damning with faint praise - in continuing there constant touring of the northeast, is a quintet which performs soulful blues and Americana-infused original music that has drawn comparisons to Van Morrison and the Allman Brothers Band, the latter being no stretch for vocalist and Hammond B3 ace Zeiner, who toured and co-composed with Dickey Betts for four years immediately following Betts' departure from the ABB. (That must have been a trip. given Dickey's rep and alcohol consumption.) Zeiner is promoting his latest disc, "Live On a Summer Night." Music starts at 8. Tickets: $12. 939 Boylston St., 617-747-2474 www.berklee.edu/news
