MONDAY

OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW
JOSHUA HEDLEY
When: 7 p.m. Monday
Tickets: SOLD OUT
Where: Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids Township

Old Crow Medicine Show returns for another sold-out affair at Meijer Gardens, this time touring behind the band’s sixth and latest studio album, “Volunteer,” which features some electric guitar work for the first time in many years – a recording that shot straight to No. 1 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart.

Classic country artist Joshua Hedley opens the show for the Nashville-based band. Gates open at 5:45 p.m. Come back to Local Spins Tuesday for a review and photo gallery.

JAMES TAYLOR
BONNIE RAITT
When: 7:30 p.m. Monday
Tickets: $86-$100
Where: Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids

Talk about a monster double bill of iconic artists. James Taylor is a multi-award-winning singer and songwriter who, well, pretty much established the “singer-songwriter” moniker back in the 1970s with a string of memorable songs, from “Fire and Rain” to “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You).”

And Bonnie Raitt, of course, is another multi-award-winning, much-venerated singer and guitarist who has cultivated a diehard legion of fans and won over critics during a career that began more than 45 years ago. Get tickets and details online at vanandelarena.com.

HERBIE HANCOCK
LIONEL LOUEKE
When: 7 p.m. Wednesday
Tickets: $60 ($62 members)
Where: Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids Township

At 78, Hancock brings a limited U.S. tour to Meijer Gardens for the first time. Read the Local Spins interview with Hancock online here. Jazz guitarist-singer Lionel Loueke opens the show; gates open at 5:45 p.m. Get tickets online at meijergardens.org.
