A Jonas is coming to town. But don’t worry, he’s not a member of the Disney sensation — you won’t have to fight off any tween fans to see him. The North Carolina singer, songwriter and industrial re-percussionist Billy Jonas will be performing at 4 p.m. Saturday at the Pump House, 368 Orchard St.

Jonas uses found objects, such as buckets, pots, pans, garbage cans and a five-gallon water bottle for drums, to make his music.

The Pump House asks for a $5 to $10 donation for admission.
