The 97th Anniversary Party, Day 2 Tobacco Road	Sat., November 21, 6:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Rock
Getting old sucks. I mean seriously. Remember what it was like being able to stay up all night drinking, then rolling into work the next day with nothing more than a cup of Starbucks and mixed visions of the previous one's debauchery and those of the one to come dancing behind your glazed eyes,...

Arboles Libres Sweat Records	Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Hipster
This past February, as a trifle, two buddies got together to jam through free-form guitar exercises while smoking a bowl for the good of mankind. It should have been a one-time thing, but it took root, grew wildly, and flowered excessively. Now, almost a year later, that early impermanent duo... More >>

Ruben Blades James L. Knight Center	Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Latin
There are few artists in Latin music — or in any genre, for that matter — as prolific and ubiquitously talented as Rubén Blades. He's a singer and a songwriter. He's an actor. He's even a lawyer and a politician. And if all of that sounds like exaggeration, check his IMDb page... More >>

Septeto Nacional Hoy Como Ayer	Sat., November 21, 10:30pm	Miami / Central Dade	Latin
If time between shows is any indication, you may have to wait another 76 years to catch Cuba's legendary Septeto Nacional on yanqui shores again. The band made its last U.S. appearance at the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago, where it won a Gold Medal by spreading the Afro-Cuban music made popular... More >>

Julian Marley and the Uprising Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts	Sun., November 22, 8:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Pop
There are some last names in pop culture that resonate beyond just celebrity status. They evoke emotions, nostalgia, and even the feelings of an entire era. In music, think Lennon or Dylan, and of course Marley. So imagine bearing that name and trying to live up to its powerful artistic legacy.... More >>

Pagliacci and Suor Angelica Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts	Sat., November 14, 8:00pm more dates/times	Miami / Central Dade	Opera Pop
Composer Pierre Boulez once said that the solution to the declining audience for opera was to blow up the opera houses, the kind of overly dramatic line that, quite frankly, belongs in an opera. If drama’s your thing, you can’t do better than the original pairing of one-act operas... More >>

80s Prom The Vagabond	Wed., November 25, 9:30pm	Miami / Central Dade	Hipster
The ’80s brought Reaganomics, Rubik’s Cube, New Coke, Madonna, the end of the Cold War, high-tops, Swatches, and teased hair. They're all awesome, so it’s no wonder that local indie record store Sweat Records holds an annual ode to the decade with its ’80s Prom. Already in... More >>

DJ T Electric Pickle	Wed., November 25, 10:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Hipster
Proof that music journalists are sometimes good for something, Thomas Koch, AKA DJ T, made his true mark in the industry by founding Groove magazine some 20 years ago. With Koch at the helm as editor and publisher, it quickly became the bible in his native Germany for everything related to... More >>

Happy Hour and Jazz Night Club 50	Every week Wednesday, 6:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Hotel Lounges
Caddyshack golf legend Ty Webb never kept score, so when Judge Smails asked him how he measured himself against other golfers, the six-foot-four Webb replied, "My height." Club 50 should have a similar answer if it's ever asked how it measures itself against other Miami bars and lounges.... More >>

(((SHAKE))) The Vagabond	Every week Thursday	Miami / Central Dade	Dance Hipster
Local music impresario José El Rey declares, “I’ll be there, and I’m more than enough for all the ladies to come. There will be woofers installed in special devices.” What’s he talkin’ ’bout? It’s Shake, a new party that’ll have you fiending... More >>

R. Kelly James L. Knight Center	Sat., November 28, 8:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Pop
Though legend says he stole his style from another shiny-headed, combat-boot-wearing R&B crooner, R. Kelly delivers timeless tunes about going halvsies on a baby or making women’s bodies go “toot, toot” and “beep, beep” that have proven he’s the only chrome dome... More >>

Little Louie Vega The Vagabond	Sat., November 28, 10:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Hipster
If you’re one of the two people who still haven’t checked out the Vagabond, this weekend is the time to hit up the downtown venue. Why? Because Saturday-night host Back Door Bamby will bring in the heavy hitter of house, Little Louie Vega, for a night called Dance Ritual. Vega is... More >>

The Golden Filter Electric Pickle	Sat., December 5, 10:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Hipster
The Golden Filter's take on late-'70s downtown glitz has taken Manhattan's club scene (and the blogosphere) by storm. Consisting of record producer Stephen and vocalist Penelope, the duo is notable for its chilly arpeggios, pulsating beats, and plush vocals — as well as their elusive... More >>

Gospel Sundays Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts	Sun., October 18, 4:00pm more dates/times	Miami / Central Dade	Gospel Pop
Question: Why do liberal atheists, who wouldn’t walk into a Lutheran church on Sunday if you paid them, suddenly go all Christ-loving when a place such as the Knight Concert Hall hosts Gospel Sundays? Answer: It’s the music. The fact is some of the best pipes in the history of American... More >>
