Continued from page 11 Sam Kiszka (bass/keyboards/ vocals) and family friend Danny Wagner (drums/vocals), the group has enjoyed a meteoric rise, releasing two EPs and two albums since 2017. Its latest full-length release, From the Fires, won the Grammy for Best Rock Album in February, and the band will perform at the 50th anniversary Woodstock concert in August — as will Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant. 8 p.m. May 7, Bayfront Park Amphitheatre, Miami (305-3587550, $50 and up) Singer, guitarist and songwriter David Crosby, 77, remains one of the signature remaining voices from the Woodstock era. Crosby has a handful of solo recordings since 1971, the latest being last year’s Here If You Listen, but the Los Angeles native is best-known as a founding member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, each inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. CSN became CSN&Y in 1969 when singer/ guitarist Neil Young joined, resulting in classic releases like Déjà Vu and Four Way Street. 7:30 p.m. May 21, Parker Playhouse, Fort Lauderdale (833-215-5121, $74 and up) Clown? Cover artist? Goofball? The gift of Californiaborn singer, songwriter, multiinstrumentalist and satirist Alfred Matthew “Weird Al” Yankovic is that he doesn’t ever attempt to avoid any of those tags. Yankovic’s rise to fame started with such video mashups of 1970s and 1980s hits like The Knack’s My Sharona (My Bologna), Michael Jackson’s Bad (Fat), and The Police’s King of Pain (King of Suede). His latest release, the 15-album set Squeeze Box, earned Yankovic his fifth Grammy Award this year. 8 p.m. June 6, Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Fort Lauderdale (866-820-4553, $73 and up)

Veteran rockers Queen couldn’t have asked for a better career booster than Bohemian Rhapsody, last year’s biopic of the band. After floundering in the years following vocalist/ keyboardist Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991, Queen practically went on hiatus. Guitarist/ vocalist Brian May and drummer/vocalist Roger Taylor, let it lie dormant until 2004, when they recruited vocalist Paul Rodgers through 2009. Current vocalist Adam Lambert rose to fame by finishing second that year on American Idol, and joined forces with the royal rockers in 2011. Bassist/vocalist Neil Fairclough, keyboardist/ guitarist/vocalist Spike Edney,
There may be no more enigmatic of a figure in popular music over the past 30 years than Los Angeles-born singer, songwriter, keyboardist and guitarist Bek David Hansen, best-known as Beck. The 48year-old was first known as an acoustic performer in New York in the late 1980s and early 90s. After moving back to L.A., he decided to experiment with hip-hop with the release of the single Loser in 1993. It created a bidding war, and he’s never had to look back since, also traversing country, jazz, funk and blues through his latest release, Colors (2017). Opening is popular Kentucky indierock band Cage the Elephant. 8 p.m. Aug. 30, Coral Sky Amphitheatre (888-456-8499, $29 and up. See POP on AT16
