Concerts

As Kurt Vile’s profile has grown in the decade since the release of his debut album, he’s striven to make indie rock a more inclusive space.

These are the five best concerts in South Florida this week.

Remember the band Squares from the ’80s? No? Well, don’t feel too bad — neither does anyone else. The group never released an album. “We were the hardest-working, least successful band of the early ’80s,” says Squares guitarist and vocalist Joe Satriani, laughing. A 15-time Grammy nominee, Satriani has since…

Every misfit’s hero, every mother’s friend, and every bully’s nightmare, P!nk has been disrupting the status quo for decades. Her 2001 single “Don’t Let Me Get Me,” from the album Missundaztood, was the soundtrack of my teenage years. Almost 20 years later, now that I’m a mother, she still grabs my…

Willie Nelson, Christopher Cross, the Fab Faux, and more of the best concerts in Miami this week, February 25 through March 3.

On March 29, 1969, “Time of the Season” by English rock group the Zombies hit number one on the American Cashbox singles chart — despite the band having broken up 18 months earlier. Fifty years later to the day, on March 29, 2019, the Zombies, with founding members…

Jake Shimabukuro, Sarah Brightman, Bad Company, and more of the best concerts in Miami this week, February 18 through 24.

It’s difficult to imagine the honor of being tapped to be the lead singer of the Doors after Jim Morrison’s death. But that is exactly what happened to Bad Company’s Paul Rodgers. The only thing is, no one told him about it. “It’s apparently true,” Rodgers says of…

Head north and catch these five road trip-worthy tours coming to the Sunshine State.

OneRepublic, returning artist G-Eazy, Diplo, and Keith Urban will headline the four-day Sunfest in early May 2019.

Duran Duran, Vince Staples, Joe Bonamassa, and more of the best concerts in Miami this week, February 11 through 17.

Earlier this year, J. Cole and his label Dreamville embarked on a project more than a decade in the making: “Revenge of the Dreamers III.” Conceived as a recording session for the ages, it would bring together a who’s who of hip-hop producers, rappers, singers, and other creatives in a studio in Atlanta…

Tribalistas, Big Freedia, and more of the best concerts in Miami this week, February 4 through 10.

December 31, 1996, was a typically cold New Year’s Eve in Times Square. My friends and I were trapped in that glittery and dismal landscape while waiting for the ball to drop. As a teenager from Miami, I was dressed incredibly inappropriately in thin pants, slip-ons, and a borrowed coat…

Lucinda Williams with Drive-By Truckers, Toni Braxton, and more of the best concerts in South Florida this week, January 28 through February 3.

Lucinda Williams is a Grammy-winning rock, folk, blues, and country singer-songwriter who’s been making music for the better part of four decades. Her breakthrough album, Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, was released in 1998 when she was 45 years old and just passed its 20th anniversary…

Last year, the two revisited their musical partnership and released a new EP, Apart, a high-production affair that puts Johansson and Yorn’s fun chemistry on full display.

Pete Yorn, Gladys Knight, Young Dolph, and more of the best concerts in South Florida this week, January 21 through 27.

Country music is steeped in female voices, from Patsy Cline to Reba McEntire, Shania Twain, and Faith Hill. But not since the Dixie Chicks burst onto the scene in 1998 has an all-female trio experienced such widespread success. “It really happened organically for us, and the timing was just right,” Runaway June lead…

Cher, Rick Springfield, Arlo Guthrie, and more of the best concerts in South Florida this week, January 14 through 20.

Sonny & Cher’s 1965 song “I Got You Babe” blares each morning from the clock radio of Bill Murray’s character in the 1993 comedy classic “Groundhog Day.” Asked why he chose that song, writer Danny Rubin said that after several replays, “it would drive you crazy!” But wasn’t there always something also charming about the song?…

Big names top the list of performers at the Pegasus World Cup Invitational, a thoroughbred horserace in its third year of merging the sport with music.
