Brett Gillin Allman Family Revival Arizona Federal Theatre This year marks the annual Allman Family Revival tribute tour’s return to the road in celebration of Gregg Allman’s birthday.

Nathalie Baret Gin Blossoms Talking Stick Resort For the countless adults caught in that awkward place between Gen X and Y who remember when MTV played music, there are a handful of names that impart that de- liciously distinct ‘90s-lost-innocence nos- talgia, from Blues Traveler to Bush to Counting Crows, but it might just be Gin Blossoms who take the cake. With the salty-sweet voice of frontman Robin Wil- son and hits like “Hey Jealousy,” “Follow You Down,” and “Til I Hear It From You,” Gin Blossoms had a virtual monopoly on the soundtracks to school dances and car make-outs of the ‘90s. Formed in 1987 in Tempe, Gin Blossoms broke out with “Hey Jealousy,” a song that became the center of Local legends Gin Blossoms. a tragedy after its writer, Blossoms co- founder Doug Hopkins, was fired and later committed suicide in 1993. The rest of the band’s members continued on to success before eventually breaking up in 1997. In 2002, the band reunited and has survived a shuffling in and out of members over the years, but, at least for now, they’re stable and performing. Gin Blossoms will play Scottsdale’s Talking Stick Resort, 9800 East Talking Stick Way, on Saturday, December 18. The show is at 8 p.m. and tickets are $30 to $100. Jacob Utti Dionne Warwick Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino Ask your teen niece if she knows who Dionne Warwick is, and you may get a no. Still, it’s likely she knows the words to “I Say a Little Prayer.” Dionne Warwick has maintained great popularity since she started her career singing gospel as a kid. She comes from a musical family, some of whom were members of Drinkard Singers, a gospel group that Elvis wanted to join him on tour. Also, Warwick’s cousin was Whitney Houston, and you cannot beat that kind of familial clout unless you’re Paris Jackson. When the great Warwick comes to the Showroom at Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino, 5040 Wild Horse Pass Boulevard in Chandler, on Saturday, De- cember 18, don’t “Walk on By.” Her concert is at 8 p.m. Tickets are $47 to $87. Liz Tracy Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Marquee Theatre Back in the early ’90s, when the Cleveland natives of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony were first starting out, they performed over the phone for N.W.A.’s Eazy-E who was feeling them out for his Ruthless Records label. Rapper Krayzie Bone told Thrasher Magazine that Eazy put them on speaker so everyone could hear them. The people in the room hadn’t heard anything like it before. No one had, in fact.
