Psychedelic-soul enigma Bobby Callender returns to Orlando to perform the songs of another lost classic from his adventurous discography.
Callender first came to Orlando last summer, holding court at the Timucua Arts Foundation like a glam Sun Ra for two sold-out nights to perform his criminally overlooked 1972 psychedelic masterpiece The Way. This was a one-off engagement, not repeated anywhere else in the country.
Now Callender will be back at Timucua to mark the 55th anniversary of another musical gem, Rainbow. The performer-composer will be backed by a 10-piece psychedelic rock ensemble with sitar and tabla. Imagine David Axelrod with the vocal chops of Nina Simone. Be forewarned: This show will sell out.
7 p.m., Sept. 22-23, Timucua Arts Foundation, 2000 S. Summerlin Ave., timucua.com, $30.
