HOT SHOWS | Arcada Theater

George Benson Wednesday, May 6 7:30pm Appreciated as both a musician and performer by millions, George Benson has always had the dual role of expert improviser and vibrant entertainer. He has consistently placed his keenly discerning art in the service of a rousing good time. Rounding out his singular approach with sly, seductive rhythm and blues, he’s earned himself an impeccable reputation as one of music’s most enterprising and engaging stars. Tickets start at $59

Jenny McCarthy’s Dirty, Sexy, Funny Tour Friday, June 12 10:30pm With the help of a hilarious, all-female slate of stand-up comedians, Jenny McCarthy takes an outrageous look at life as a contemporary woman: from single motherhood to casual sex. Currently on a national tour, Dirty Sexy Funny includes sets from Tammy Pescatelli, Lynne Koplitz, Paula Bel and April Macie, as well as a series of sketch vignettes from McCarthy herself. Tickets start at $49

The Bacon Brothers Tuesday, July 7, 7:30pm Kevin and Michael Bacon have been writing songs and playing music together since about the same time they may have been fighting over Lincoln Logs or little green Army guys. In fact, the cover of their first album, Forosoco, shows as much; the picture, taken in 1972, shows Kevin and Michael onstage playing congas and guitar, respectively. The look of communication between the two is telling: although the Bacon Brothers have only been a working band since 1995, they too, run decades deep. Tickets start at $39

Belinda Carlisle Wednesday, September 9, 7:30pm Belinda gained worldwide fame as the lead vocalist of the Go-Go's, one of the most successful all-female bands of all time. The group sold more than seven million albums[1] in just three years and she later went on to have a successful solo career with hits such as "Mad About You", "I Get Weak", "Circle in the Sand", "Leave a Light On" and "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" among others, which were major successes. Tickets start at $39
