On Saturday, Dec. 17, at 8 p.m., The Clyde Theatre will welcome the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame duo The Righteous Brothers to the big stage.

Reserved seating tickets are available at clydetheatre.com, by calling (800) 514-3849, The Clyde box office, all Wooden Nickel Records locations, Neat Neat Neat Records, and Sweetwater Sound.
