Musically speaking, is there still room in our increasingly creepy world for the old-timey hippie aesthetics of peace, love, brother- and sisterhood — and even skinny dipping?

And if so, what would that sound like?

Perhaps a fusion of soul, funk and rock wouldn't be the first thing that comes to mind — anyone remember Vermont freak-folk? — but the Juicy Grapes combine classic dance-floor grooves in a ceaselessly infectious presentation anchored by the vocalist Tara Connolly. And, yes, in addition to their positive message, they do reference skinny dipping.

See, hear and dance to the Juicy Grapes good vibes on Friday in New London's 33 Golden Street.

The Juicy Grapes, 9 p.m. Friday, 33 Golden Street, 33 Golden St., New London; $5; (860) 443-1193.
