Arizona rocker Bret Michaels brings his “Parti-Gras” show to the AVA at Casino del Sol on Saturday, Oct. 26.
The party includes Michael’s 1980s hard-rocking colleague, Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, who had all of us screaming, “We’re not gonna take it” 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 (“Fly,” “Someday”).
- Steve Augeri, who stepped in as lead singer of Journey from 1998-2006.
Saturday’s 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-’90s/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 (“Poor, Poor Pitiful Me,” “Girls Lie Too,” “A Little Gasoline,” “You’re Easy on the Eyes,’ “When Boy Meets Girl”) 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, “Take Two,” a greatest hits duets project that features some of today’s biggest country stars (Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Carly Pearce and Ben Rector among them) performing Clark’s hits.
Kelly Clarkson is featured on “If I Were You,” while Paul Brandt joins Clark for “You’re Easy On the Eyes.” The Wilson duet on “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me” 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.
