Caliente Contest
The undisputed king of electric
blues is scheduled to play to a
packed audience Friday night at
Centennial Hall.

BB King is one of the most well-
known living blues musicians in
the world, and certainly the most
famous person to ever come out
of the tiny town of Itta Bena,
Miss.

The 2000 census pegged Itta
Bena's population at about 4,000
residents living within a 1.5
square mile area.

Yet the town still managed to
make it into the 2000 Coen
brothers film, "O Brother, Where
Art Thou?"

In the movie, a notorious
gangster terrorizing the the
Deep South stops George
Clooney's character Everett and
his crew and asks them how to
get to Itta Bena.

Name the gangster and the
actor who played him for a
chance to win a set of three
cookbooks.

THE SCORE

Female rap trio brings its energy to Club Congress

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 05.08.2008
Northern State, a female rap trio from New York, will play Club Congress on Monday.
The former Tegan and Sara tour mates often draw comparisons to The Beastie Boys, and their live shows bring a similar amount of energy.
The girls are promising much audience participation on this tour, so get ready.
Opening the all-ages 7 p.m. show are punkers The Dollyrots. Tickets are $9 in advance and $11 day of show.
Missouri group will show you Saturday
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin recalls a bouncy, pop-obsessed love child of the Beach Boys and Weezer.
The Missouri group will play an all-ages show at Club Congress on Saturday with Portland's Port O'Brien.
Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are $9 in advance, $10 day of show.
Hear blend of bluegrass, folk and rock at Plush
Langhorne Slim's show Monday at Plush could be one of those catch-him-while-you-can moments.
The singer/songwriter recently performed on "The Late Show With David Letterman," and his new album, "Restless," is a lighthearted blend of catchy folk, bluegrass and rock, like Sufjan Stevens' Red Bull-swigging hillbilly cousin.
Cathy Rivers' project Little Black Cloud will open at 9:45 p.m. The cover is $8.
Dallas pop-rock act in town on Sunday
Dallas' The New Frontiers occupies that middle ground between major-label stature and indie appeal.
The band's songs have a bittersweet, downtrodden feel, but with an accessible presentation like Coldplay.
New Frontiers plays Solar Culture on Sunday with Phoenix's Alive in Wild Paint, another sentimental pop-rock act.
Sunday seems like the perfect night for this 8 p.m. show. It'll cost you $10.
Guitarist to play solo at Solar Culture Saturday
Moris Tepper has played guitar for such veteran acts as Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits, PJ Harvey and Frank Black.
His solo music is as across-the-board and interesting as the artists listed above, from funk to ballads to jangly rock. He's playing a solo show at Solar Culture on Saturday night. It starts at 9 p.m. and tickets are $8. Opening are Tucson's Golden Boots and Metal.
Veteran group AMC brings tunes to Plush
Veteran act American Music Club reunited in 2004 after a 10-year hiatus. "The Golden Age," which was released earlier this year, is the group's second album since the members got back together.
AMC will bring its melancholy tunes to Plush on Tuesday night.
Jose Saavedra will open the show at 9:30. Cost is $10.
