How precisely does one determine the artists and songs to be included in a tantalizingly named evening of music called "A Tribute to Fats Domino and New Orleans R&B"?

Because that's exactly what's happening Saturday in Westerly's Knickerbocker Music Center.

Well, to start, it's probably best to include some Fats Domino.

After that, there are plenty of requirements including Professor Longhair, James Booker, the Neville Brothers/Wild Tchoupitoulas, Allen Toussaint, the Meters, Dr. John, Ray Brown, Dave Bartholomew, Huey "Piano" Smith, Lloyd Price, Irma Thomas, Ernie K-Doe, Lee Dorsey, Smiley Lewis, Earl King ...

Not sure how it'll all be parsed out, but the evening's hosts/performers are Sugar Ray Norcia, Brian Templeton and the Knickerbocker All Stars. If any collection of Yankees can pull off a night like this, it'll be these fine folks.

A Tribute to Fats Domino and New Orleans R&B, 8 p.m. Saturday, the Knick, 35 Railroad Ave, Westerly; $15 advance, $20 door; (401) 315-5070.
