You're (not) gonna miss this: Louisiana native Trace Adkins is all Nashville now, but you can still hear a little bit of the bayou sprinkled across this soulful baritone’s three-decade career. This tour is titled after a new single, Somewhere in America, inspired by a visit to Mayfield, Kentucky after a 2021 tornado ripped through the town. 7 p.m. Friday (doors at 6 p.m.) at Grossinger Motors Arena; tickets $110 at 309-434 2843 and grossingermotorsarnea.com.
Viva Cuba: It’s been a year since third generation Cuban jazz master Chuchito Valdes held court at Jazz UpFront. The seven-time Grammy nominee tickles the ivories two nights this weekend and is not to be missed if you’re a Latin or standard jazz fan. 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; tickets $30 at the door. jazzupfront.com.
