Clutch<br />
Cain’s Ballroom (Tulsa)<br />
Clutch combines elements of funk, Led Zeppelin, and metal with vocals inspired<br />
by Faith No More. Formed in 1991 in Germantown, Md., the group built a local<br />
following through constant gigging, and after just one 7-inch single (“Passive<br />
Restraints”) Clutch was signed and released their debut LP, Transnational<br />
Speedway League (1993). A self-titled album appeared two years later and<br />
afforded Clutch some mainstream exposure. They jumped to a larger label for<br />
1998’s Elephant Riders, and many thought the group might join their sonic<br />
cousins Korn and Deftones in the alternative metal winner’s circle. That didn’t<br />
quite happen. But it didn’t matter, because a quality fan base continued to thrive<br />
for Clutch.<br />
Pure Rock Fury appeared in 2001, and the similarly uncompromising Blast Tyrant<br />
came three years later. The band followed up 2009’s Strange Cousins from the<br />
West with their 10 th album, Earth Rocker, in 2013.<br />

Kevin Nealon<br />
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (Tulsa/Catoosa)<br />
A mainstay of Saturday Night Live from the mid-’80s to mid-’90s (having<br />
anchored Weekend Update and introduced characters like Mr. Subliminal) and<br />
a regular on the television show Weeds, Kevin Nealon got his start performing<br />
standup, even though he wouldn’t release his first comedy album until 2013.<br />
Born and raised in Bridgeport, Conn., Nealon joined SNL’s not ready for primetime<br />
players in the 1986 season. After his departure from the show in 1996, he played<br />
roles in Adam Sandler’s Little Nicky (2000) and David Spade’s Joe Dirt (2001),<br />
while 2005 saw him join the cast of the Showtime cable network’s Weeds, where<br />
he played the character Doug Wilson for 100-plus episodes. In 2013 Showtime<br />
aired his standup comedy special Whelmed...But Not Overly, which was released<br />
on album that same year.<br />

Anything Goes<br />
Performing Arts Center (Broken<br />
Arrow)<br />
All aboard for this saucy and splendid<br />
production of Anything Goes,<br />
winner of three 2011 Tony Awards<br />
including Best Musical Revival and<br />
Choreography. One of the greatest<br />
musicals in theater history, Cole<br />
Porter’s first-class musical comedy<br />
is sailing across the country. When<br />
the S.S. American heads out to sea,<br />
etiquette and convention get tossed<br />
out the portholes as two unlikely<br />
pairs set off on the course to true<br />
love proving that sometimes destiny<br />
needs a little help from a crew of<br />
singing sailors, an exotic disguise<br />
and some good old-fashioned<br />
blackmail. Peppering this timeless<br />
classic are some of musical theatre’s<br />
most memorable standards, including<br />
“I Get a Kick Out of You,” “You’re the<br />
Top,” and of course, “Anything Goes.”<br />
