Grammy-nominated Tim Reynolds, the guitarist for Dave Matthews Band, is also an impressive solo performer. The multi-instrumentalist will bring his three-piece band, T3, to the Rhythm Room for an intimate jam that’s sure to include some sonic nods to a couple of Reynolds’ newer influences, Marilyn Manson and Bob Marley. That kind of polar opposition should make for an interesting show. $20-$25. 7 p.m. November 6 at the Rhythm Room. rhythmroom.com
