Talk about your quick encores: Midland, the neo-trad country band fronted by Sonoita native Mark Wystrach, returns to Tucson on Wednesday, Oct. 24, six short months after its Tucson debut at Rialto Theatre.
And here’s the thing: The show at the AVA at Casino del Sol, 5655 W. Valencia Road, is nearly sold out.
Only lawn tickets ($25) remain for the 8 p.m. show at the AVA. Get them at tickets.casinodelsol.com
If you can’t get tickets, we’ve found a couple other shows that might make you forget that you dragged your feet and missed out.
Bakersfield country sound lives on
Dwight Yoakam is bringing his sexy cool Bakersfield country to Tucson Music Hall on Thursday, Oct. 18. The show at the hall, 260 S. Church Ave., starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are $39.75 to $99 through ticketmaster.com
Also coming up this week at the Tucson Convention Center, 260 S. Church Ave.: Rapper Lil Uzi Vert plays the Exhibition Hall at 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20. Tickets are $55 to $95 through ticketmaster.com
AN EVENING OF LAUGHS
You might not know that comic actor Adam Devine (“Pitch Perfect,” Comedy Central’s “Workaholics”) also is a pretty funny stand-up comedian. He is bringing his “Adam Devine – Weird Life Tour 2018” to Fox Tucson Theatre, 17 W. Congress St., on Saturday, Oct. 20.
We get him as a warm up to his first-ever hour-long Netflix special, which he will film in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, Nov. 10.
Fellow comedian Adam Ray opens the show at 8 p.m. Tickets are $29.50 to $49.50 through foxtucsontheatre.ticketforce.com
RETURN OF AN OLD FRIEND
UK singer-songwriter KT Tunstall has stayed away from us for what seems like a lifetime: Five long years since she stood on the Club Congress stage downtown.
Tunstall holds a special place in our hearts; she and Tucson’s own Brian Lopez toured nternationally and Tucson great Howe Gelb worked with her when she recorded her 2013 album “Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon” in Tucson. So when the description of her Club Congress show on Tuesday, Oct. 23, teases that she will have special guests, we’re hoping and kind of thinking they will be among them.
Doors for the 21-and-older show at Club Congress, 311 E. Congress St., open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 to $99 through hotelcongress.com
