Two good local acts will take the stage at Bend’s McMenamins Old St. Francis School (700 N.W. Bond St., Bend) next week. Let’s tell you all about them, OK?

• On Wednesday, Sisters-based singer-songwriter Anastacia Beth Scott will fill Father Luke’s Room with her pretty, cosmic folk-pop. Scott’s a veteran of the local music scene who used to play in Stone Soup and Threes before sliding into a solo career, where she scored a spot performing at the Sisters Folk Festival. Scott’s songs are easy, unhurried soundscapes that illuminate our connections with the natural and metaphysical world, and she’s backed by a crack band that includes Jared Forqueran, Aaron-Andre Miller and Stephanie Miller. Hear their music at www .myspace.com/anastaciamusic3, and then see them play at 7 p.m. Wednesday. It’s free.

• On Thursday, it’s JazzBros time! One of the long-standing combos on Bend’s scene, the Bros eschew the easygoing “cool jazz” concept you hear emanating from dimly lit corners of fancy restaurants, instead opting for what they call “power jazz,” where jazz and blues collide inside dense arrangements and rubbery grooves. The JazzBros are Warren Zaiger on bass, Andy Armer on keys and Georges Bouhey on drums. You can get all kinds of info on the band and hear what they do at www.bouheytunes.com, and you can catch them at 7 p.m. Thursday at McMenamins. Once again, it’s free, so you have no excuses!
