Arizona rocker Bret Michaels brings his βParti-Grasβ show to the AVA at Casino del Sol on Saturday, Oct. 26.
The party includes Michaelβs 1980s hard-rocking colleague, Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, who had all of us screaming, βWeβre not gonna take itβ at every turn in 1984. Hey, it sounded cool, and the 1980s were all about the cool factor. Also making an appearance:
- Mark McGrath, lead vocalist for the 1990s nu metal band Sugar Ray (βFly,β βSomedayβ).
- Steve Augeri, who stepped in as lead singer of Journey from 1998-2006.
Saturdayβs concert begins at 8 p.m. at the AVA, 5655 W. Valencia Road. Tickets are $30-$125 through casinodelsol.com.
Canadian country singer Terri Clark plays the Fox
Terri Clark performs during CMA Fest on Saturday, June 8, 2024, in Nashville, Tenn.
There were very few if any female country singers back in the mid-β90s/early 2000s who wore a hat until Canadian country singer Terri Clark came on the scene.
Her hat became her signature, but it was her hits (βPoor, Poor Pitiful Me,β βGirls Lie Too,β βA Little Gasoline,β βYouβre Easy on the Eyes,β βWhen Boy Meets Girlβ) that earned her membership in the Grand Ole Opry (the only Canadian female opry member) and a legion of fans calling themselves Hat Brats.
In May, Clark released her latest album, βTake Two,β a greatest hits duets project that features some of todayβs biggest country stars (Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Carly Pearce and Ben Rector among them) performing Clarkβs hits.
Kelly Clarkson is featured on βIf I Were You,β while Paul Brandt joins Clark for βYouβre Easy On the Eyes.β The Wilson duet on βPoor, Poor Pitiful Meβ is pretty spectacular.
Clark is sure to sing most of those songs, sans her new duet partners, when she plays Fox Tucson Theatre on Sunday, Oct. 27. The show starts at 7 p.m. with Tucson singer-songwriter Ryan David Green of Ryanhood opening. Tickets are $20-$79.50 through foxtucson.com.
The Fox Tucson Theatre has been a Tucson landmark for decades. Its history has been captured in photos since the 1930s, when it opened as a vaudeville venue and movie house. Video by Pascal Albright / Arizona Daily Star
