MUSIC
Broken Bells: Producer Danger Mouse is quickly becoming a prolific collaborator: He’s worked with Cee-Lo Green in the outfit Gnarls Barkley, produced the Gorillaz’s second album, as well as Beck’s latest. In Broken Bells, Danger Mouse (born Brian Joseph Burton) finds a musical mate in James Mercer, frontman for indie rock band The Shins. The duo has already proved its muster with a single, “The High Road,” which has been climbing the college radio and alternative charts. 7 p.m. June 1. $35. St. Andrew’s Hall, 431 E. Congress, Detroit; 313-961-8137.
Earth, Wind and Fire: This elemental Chicago-bred R&B band might have been the inspiration for “Captain Planet,” a 1990s children’s cartoon aimed at inspiring eco-responsibility — a full decade before “green” was hot. The band’s stance on environmentalism isn’t publicly known, unlike their disregard for the Oxford comma. 9 p.m. June 4. $61.20-$84.20 (Canadian). The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor, 377 Riverside Drive E., Windsor; 888-345-5885.
She & Him: “She” (Zooey Deschanel) is a doe-eyed movie star whose piercingly clear voice first pricked up ears in a short musical number from the Will Ferrell comedy Elf. “Him” (M. Ward) is a curly-haired indie-folk crooner with a sandpaper voice and bluesy guitar lines out of the John Fahey bible. Together, the duo’s songs —written mostly by She and produced by Him — recall 1970s AM Gold radio, especially on their latest album, Volume Two. 7 p.m. June 6. $24 in advance. $29 at the door. Royal Oak Music Theatre, 318 W. Fourth St., Royal Oak; 248-399-2980.
Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker: Country star Paisley’s new single, “Water,” is making a splash — so much so that he’s dubbed his latest promotion the H2O Tour. Seriously. 4:30 p.m. June 11. $33-$61.75. DTE Energy Music Theatre, 7774 Sashabaw Rd., Clarkston; 248-377-8215.
Creedence Clearwater Revisited: There’s something about a band with a slightly revised version of the name that made it famous (for instance, Jefferson Starship) that ensures it can never recapture its old glory. In CCR’s case, that probably has more to do with the absence of John Fogerty than anything else. Regardless, CCR’s original rhythm section continues to stamp out “Down on the Corner” in this classic “revisit.” 9 p.m. June 11. $41.80-$64.80 (Canadian). The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor, 377 Riverside Drive E., Windsor; 888-345-5885.
New Kids on the Block: No, that’s not the punch line to a joke. The early-’90s boy band that blazed the trail of questionable facial hair for the likes of N*SYNC and Backstreet Boys relaunched its career a few years ago with moderate success. Perhaps it’s time for the band to follow in CCR’s footsteps and change its name to something a little more age-appropriate. Then again, “Old Guys on the Block” just doesn’t have the same appeal. 9 p.m. June 12. $77.45-$106.20 (Canadian). The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor, 377 Riverside Drive E., Windsor; 888-345-5885.
Gordon Lightfoot: The man has penned a number of venerable ’70s AM classics, such as “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Carefree Highway,” and “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” And you can almost count on hearing all of them at 7 p.m. June 13. $39.50-$58. Fox Theatre, 2211 Woodward, Detroit; 313-983-6000.
MGMT: After the success of their psychedelic synth-pop debut, Oracular Spectacular, the duo of Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden known as MGMT (pronounced “em-gee-em-tee”) inevitably made a follow-up record based on their recent fame — though they admit that it wasn’t their intention. That album, Congratulations, was released in April and has continued MGMT on its upward trajectory. 6:30 p.m. June 16. $29.50-$39.50. The Fillmore, 2115 Woodward, Detroit; 313-961-5451.
Backstreet Boys: The “boys” are all in their mid-30s now, but they’re not ready for the pop-music scrapheap. Their latest album, This Is Us, debuted at #9 on the Billboard charts. Backstreet’s back, all right! 7:30 p.m. June 18. $15-$49.50. DTE Energy Music Theatre, 7774 Sashabaw Rd., Clarkston; 248-377-8215.
Moody Blues: Who would’ve thought that so many days of the future would pass and this original British Invasion band would still be around? You can bet they’ll play “Nights in White Satin” in all of its seven-minute-38-second glory. 8 p.m. June 18. $48-$78. Fox Theatre, 2211 Woodward, Detroit; 313-983-6000.
Jethro Tull: The flute isn’t often associated with heavy metal (unless it’s made of steel). And though Jethro Tull isn’t quite a heavy-metal band, it didn’t prevent them from winning a Grammy Award in 1989 for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. The band was such an underdog leading up to the ceremony that none of its members bothered to show up. They were probably too busy sitting on a park bench. 9 p.m. June 19. $37.20-$71.70 (Canadian). The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor, 377 Riverside Drive E., Windsor; 888-345-5885.
Sheryl Crow with Colbie Caillat: Crow has been around for almost two decades, earning a Best New Artist Grammy in 1995, and is showing no signs of slowing down. Her first hit, “All I Wanna Do,” can still be heard blasting from car speakers like an open fire hydrant on a hot summer day. 7:30. June 19. $21-$50.50. DTE Energy Music Theatre, 7774 Sashabaw Rd., Clarkston; 248-377-8215.
Jeff Beck: Don’t miss your chance to say you’ve seen guitar god Jeff Beck — ranked 14th on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” — at the Fillmore. Even if it isn’t the Fillmore venue in New York or San Francisco of the ’60s, no one has to know. 7 p.m. June 20. $29.50-$49.50. The Fillmore, 2115 Woodward, Detroit; 313-961-5451.
Jimmy Buffett: You could enjoy a “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” wash it down with an ice-cold Landshark Lager, then waste away in Margaritaville while reading Swine Not? and still not get to the heart of what made Buffett a household name in the first place — his music. 8 p.m. June 22. $37.50-$137.50. DTE Energy Music Theatre, 7774 Sashabaw Rd., Clarkston; 248-377-8215.
Dave Matthews Band: Break out your flip-flops and shell necklaces, dude, Dave Matthews is coming to town. DMB marks the halfway point of a three-day, midweek jam fest that will inevitably end with “Freebird.” 7 p.m. June 23. $40-$75. DTE Energy Music Theatre, 7774 Sashabaw Rd., Clarkston; 248-377-8215.
Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bret Michaels: Lynyrd Skynyrd (pronounced len-erd-skin-erd) isn’t from “Sweet Home Alabama,” Mississippi, or any of the other states most associated with the Deep South. The Floridian band tours on the heels of its latest album, aptly titled God & Guns —which has been touted by Sean Hannity on his radio show. 7 p.m. June 24. $25-$59.50. DTE Energy Music Theatre, 7774 Sashabaw Rd., Clarkston; 248-377-8215.
