Two legends hit town tonight to perform 21+ shows:

KRCL’s Brad Wheeler has been preparing for tonight’s Andre Williams show at The Urban Lounge since he first laid ears upon the so-called Black Godfather of rhythm and blues. Wheeler scored Williams’ digits on a recent trip to Chicago and helped persuade the seasoned musician to stop in SLC for a once-in-a-lifetime concert. Opening act, Utah’s own The Rubes, have a little something special planned for the occasion including extra horns and backup singers. Music starts at 9 p.m. Taste of things to come (possibly NSFW):

Also tonight, John Hiatt arrives in support of his latest LP, The Open Road. Everytime I hear the new track “My Baby,” the refrain loops in my head for hours. Solid, catchy and a whole lot of fun, Hiatt headlines a sold-out evening at The State Room with local opener Paul Jacobsen! Music starts at 8 p.m. For those who didn’t get a hold of tickets in time, enjoy this clip:
