Six-piece ensemble Nikita create a velvety sound they call “purple soul.” You already have an inkling of what that might sound like, don’t you? That’s probably because associations with the color purple — wealth, power, magic and decadence — are ingrained in our collective consciousness. But if you need it spelled out, the Connecticut-based group makes groovy pop-soul music with funky accents. It combines the balmy warmth of alt-soul acts like Unknown Mortal Orchestra with the classic pop structures of Hall & Oates. Nikita perform three times this weekend: Friday, August 24, at the Monkey House in Winooski; Saturday, August 25, at Foam Brewers in Burlington; and Sunday, August 26, at Radio Bean in Burlington. Rosemary Minkler opens on Friday and Saturday.
