Best Bets: Free Aja Vu Concert And Art Show In Redwood City’S Courthouse Square

The city's Music on the Square free concert series, which runs 6 to 8 p.m. Fridays through Aug. 30, this week features popular tribute band Aja Vu. The longtime Bay Area group has for years been a topnotch purveyor of Steely Dan's eclectic repertoire (and as any Steely Dan fan knows, those songs are not easy to perform), and recently added Chicago's catalog to its offerings. (Some listings refer to the outfit now as STEEL n Chicago, though the band's website still trumpets the original Aja Vu moniker.)
