The popular Addison County band The Almendros will rock the Marquis Theater in Middlebury on Wednesday, May 14, from 7-9 p.m., in a benefit for the Vermont nonprofit Migrant Justice.

The Almendros are an eight-piece multinational group whose repertoire ranges from rock, soul, hiphop and blues to reggae, ska, calypso and West African styles. They are preparing to release their second album, “Destination Unknown,” and they’ll preview it at the Marquis.

Migrant Justice works build the voice and capacity of Vermont’s 1,200 immigrant farmworkers, helping them organize for economic justice and human rights.

With a $10 cash admission at the door, the evening will include the Marquis Theater’s Mexican cantina and bar.
