Seeing live music can be a transcendent mind-body experience, akin to getting a tattoo underwater or making out during an eclipse. Transcend boredom with today's Groupon for one general-admission ticket to select shows at Bridge Street Live in Collinsville. Choose from the following options to secure a ticket, which can be picked up at the box office up to 90 minutes prior to showtime:

• For $7, you get one ticket to Lipbone Redding on Friday, October 1, at 8 p.m. (a $15 value).

Bridge Street Live offers a bevy of entertainment options in an inviting art-deco setting. On October 1, former subway musician Lipbone Redding will purse his namesake to produce wave after wave of brassless trombone sound. Nicknamed the "Human Sweet Box," Redding delivers a unique brand of jazz, blues, jam, and soul. Warm up your laughbox for Comedy Night on October 8, which features DJ Hazard, a founding member of the infamous Ding Ho Club. Also taking the stage is Moody McCarthy, who has been known to craft jokes out of whatever material is most abundant, be it wood, soap, thin air, or overweight air. The third available show, on October 9, sees traditions of Charlie Parker fused with the electric style of Miles Davis to create the distinctive sounds produced by the Isaac Young Quartet. Witness an enjoyable evening of bass lines and completely unsquare jams.

An evening at Bridge Street Live provides more fun and entertainment than an all-cat-and-hamster rendition of Hamlet. The gorgeous Bridge Street Live venue boasts a bar stocked with luscious libations and potent potables. The bar room, lounge, and massive wrap-around decks overlook the Farmington River and Sweetheart Mountain.
