Flip a coin: Comedy, world music or a familiar song all heading to Tucson

It’s been a minute since we’ve had three events fall into play on the same day, forcing us into that dreaded coin flip to see where we land.

We’re gonna face that dilemma on Saturday, June 21; three shows we would love to see all happening at the same time.

Do we check out the German pagan-neofolk band Faun at 191 Toole that plays a bunch of instruments we can’t remember ever seeing on a Tucson stage? Those include a Swedish chordophone that looks like a fat violin with accordion-like buttons, or the violin-adjacent hurdy-gurdy that uses a rosined wheel instead of a bow to summon a sound similar to a violin.

Toss in some bagpipes, flutes, the medieval cittern (it looks like the mandolin’s great-great-granddad) and lace it with some pretty impressive vocals and that is Faun, making what we believe is its Tucson debut.

The all-ages show starts at 8:30 p.m. at 191 Toole, 191 E. Toole Ave.; $39-$49.95 through ticketmaster.com.

But we also really love to laugh, and Felipe Esparza gets us in that department. We are pretty confident that when he brings his “At My Leisure World Tour” to Desert Diamond Casino and starts talking about his life and family and foibles and hiccups and all the things that we totally can relate to, we’re going to be bent over from convulsive laughing.

This is the second leg of the tour, and it’s coming to us four months after he released his latest Netflix special “Raging Fool.” We’re kinda thinking he might slip in some material from that, including his bit on why dairy is more dangerous than drugs. Hey, he’s a vegetarian; we get that.

Esparza takes the stage at Desert Diamond Casino’s Diamond Center, 1100 W. Pima Mine Road, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $55-$75 through ddcaz.com.

Then there’s all those songs we absolutely love from country singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter, who’s bringing fellow singer-songwriter Brandy Clark along for her show at Fox Tucson Theatre, 17 W. Congress St. We never tire of hearing and seeing her sing “Passionate Kisses,” “Down at the Twist and Shout” and, of course, “Shut Up and Kiss Me.”

We’re thinking she also might throw in a track or two from her just-released album “Personal History,” which is her most autobiographical recording to date.

We’re not as familiar with Brandy Clark as a singer, but we sure know her songwriting. She’s the prolific composer behind such hits as Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart,” The Band Perry’s “Better Dig Two,” Kasey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow” and “Biscuits” and dozens of songs recorded by Ashley McBride, Reba McEntire, The Oak Ridge Boys, Toby Keith, Terri Clark, David Nail, Sheryl Crow and dozens more.

The show begins at 7 p.m. and tickets are $56-$102 through foxtucson.com.
