Call me Ishmael, a one-year-old Sacramento band, celebrates their first album, “Listen,” with a release party and concert on Friday.

The band, which plays alternative rock music, is made up of guitarist/singer and Sacramento State studio art major Bryan Valenzuela, bassist/singer Nathan Webb, drummer Robby Dowd and keyboardist Andy Babcock.

“I think people should just come out to actually experience something, to be moved or challenged,” Valenzuela said. “I think there?s a growing musical culture in Sacramento, and many people may not be aware of it.”

The concert and release party is held at 10 p.m. at The Distillery, 2107 L St.
