Folk band Mutual Benefit produces unique, laid-back tunes using a wide variety of instrumentation and sounds. Lead by Jordan Lee, the band employs the use of lush strings and found sounds to create full, rich arrangements that perfectly encapsulate its leader's vulnerable lyrics. In October 2013, the band released its first full-length album, "Love's Crushing Diamond," which earned the band high praise from critics and fans alike.

Mutual Benefit performs with Little Spoon on Monday, June 16, at Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water Street. 8 p.m. $10. Waterstreetmusic.com; mutualbenefit.bandcamp.com.
