Mixing it up

Before he takes his act on the road for a few weeks, local blue-eyed soul singer Jesse Dee celebrates the release of his new album, "Bittersweet Batch," tonight at Johnny D's. The singer is a mix of John Legend, James Hunter, and Al Green. Not a bad blend, right? Joining Dee will be the Leah Randazzo Group and Danielle Miraglia. 8:30 p.m. $10. Johnny D's, 17 Holland St., Somerville. 617-776-2004. www.johnnyds.com
