THURSDAY, JUNE 2, AT DICKIE’S ARENA, 1911 MONTGOMERY ST., $39.50+ AT TICKETMASTER.COM After a two-year wait, jazz-rock troubadours Steely Dan will be bringing their Earth After Dark tour to the Dickies Arena on Thursday with Denton’s own jazz collective Snarky Puppy pro- viding opening support as special guests. Steve Winwood was originally scheduled to open, but he dropped out due to the pandemic and scheduling conflicts. Steely Dan found great success in the 1970s with hits such as “Reelin’ in the Years” from its debut Can’t Buy a Thrill, but it wasn’t long after that album that the band de- cided to expand the experimental jazz elements of its music. The hits, such as “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” and “Peg” kept coming, making Steely Dan one of the most respected bands in popular music. Steely Dan lost original member Walter Becker in 2017, but his longtime partner in music Donald Fagen has been keeping the act alive backed by a crew of talented musicians. DA- VID FLETCHER puffnstuffsmokeshop.com Neko Case 7 P.M. FRIDAY, JUNE 3, AT GRANADA THEATER, 3524 GREENVILLE AVE, $41 AT PREKINDLE.COM Singer-songwriter Neko Case has always been difficult to pin to any genre. Her work has run the gamut of indie-rock, alt-country, Ameri- cana, pop and art rock. Since 2000, the singer has split her time between her solo career, in- die-rock band The New Pornographers and a handful of other bands including case/lang/ veirs in which the singer worked with k.d. lang and Laura Veirs. Most recently in her solo work, Case released her seventh solo studio album in the summer of 2018, Hell-On. An al- ternative country album, Hell-On was met with near universal acclaim for its intimate songwriting and its incredible production. For the album, Case took on the production duties herself alongside Franz Ferdinand producer Björn Yttling. Case is currently touring in sup- port of her career-spanning retrospective al- bum, Wild Creatures, which also includes an essay, track commentary and artwork by Laura Plansker.

SATURDAY, JUNE 4, AT AT&T STADIUM, 1 AT&T WAY, $25+ AT SEATGEEK.COM Singer Kenny Chesney is inarguably one of the most successful crossover country artists in the last three decades. With over 20 albums and over 40 songs making an appearance in Billboard’s top 10 list, Chesney has sold over 30 million records around the world. Part of Chesney’s continued success is the close rela- tionship he maintains with his fans. In the days when even nosebleed seats can run close to 100 bucks, Chesney’s concert at AT&T Stadium is offering fans tickets at only $25 a piece. His most recent album, Here and Now, came out in May 2020 and became Chesney’s 16th top 10 album on the strength of its first two sin- gles, the title track and “Tip of My Tongue.” Chesney’s performance in Arlington this Sat- urday will have opening support from pop country duo Dan + Shay, country rock band Old Dominion and country bluegrass singer Carly Pearce. DF Jonathan Mannion Gucci Mane performs on Sunday. Gucci Mane 7 P.M. SUNDAY, JUNE 5, AT WILD ACRE LIVE,1734 E. EL PASO ST., $48+ AT DEFYTICKETS.COM Atlanta rapper and trap music pioneer Gucci Mane is coming to Fort Worth for the first time ever thanks to the folks at Fortress Presents and DeFy tickets. The show will take place at Fort Worth’s newest home for live music, Wild Acre Live, which is located about 100 yards away from Wild Acre Brewing Company on East El Paso Street. Gucci Mane has released over 70 mixtapes in his career, documenting all the trials and tribulations of living, dying and surviving on the streets of Atlanta, searching for redemption and finding a sense of peace. The rapper has struggled publicly with the law, opioid addiction and his weight, but emerged a new man when he was released from prison for a 2013 gun charge after going to rehab and dedicating his life to healthier decisions. Gucci Mane released his 15th studio album Ice Daddy last summer sounding reinvigorated and ready to take on anyone who would dare deny his status as a hip- hop pioneer. DF Barenaked Ladies 7 P.M. TUESDAY, JUNE 7, AT THE PAVILION AT TOYOTA MUSIC FACTORY, 300 W. LAS COLINAS BLVD., $43+ AT LIVENATION.COM Canadian band Barenaked Ladies have been thought of as a something of a joke act in the world of American pop-alt-rock since their breakthrough hit single “One Week.” While the band has released plenty of singles in the last 35 years, none have had quite the same impact as “One Week” — except maybe the theme song they provided for The Big Bang Theory. The band’s deep cuts, however, reveal that the band is far more than a group of merry pranksters, with songs that show great emotional depth and snarky social commentary. Coming through Irving next week, Barenaked Ladies bring with them two bands from the ‘90s with whom they shared the radio waves when the band was known for “Old Apartment” instead of “One Week.” Gin Blossoms and Toad the Wet Sprocket will be providing the opening support for this night of ’90s nostalgia.
