Scott Amendola, left, and Wil Blades

Main Stage West in Sebastopol is known  mostly for its theatrical productions, but it puts on concerts, too.

Drummer Scott Amendola and organist Wil Blades team up with guitarist Dave MacNab for a show Saturday, March 3, at the downtown theater.

The Bay Area duo of Amendola and Blades and got started when Amendola wanted to perform Duke Ellington’s “Far East Suite.”

Blades plays the Hammond B3 organ, used in the 1940s and ‘50s to recreate the sound of big bands.

The duo continues to perform the Ellington suite in their live performances, while also developing their original material. In performance, Amendola and Blades cover everything from avant garde to funk, bebop to rock.

MacNab, who has worked with Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead and many others, is at home with jazz, but also draws from rock, funk, Latin and blues influences.

The show starts at 8 p.m. at Main Stage West, 104 N. Main St., Sebastopol.

Admission: $10-$20.
