The Clyde has already begun looking into the new year with the recent addition of The Commodores on Saturday, Jan. 14. 

Although most of their hits came in the ’70s and ’80s, these R&B/funk legends have remained a force in the music industry. 

The Commodores consist of Walter “Clyde” Orange, J.D. Nicholas, and King “WAK, along with their five-piece band, known as the “Mean Machine.” Together, they will lay down all the hits: “Easy,” “Brick House,” “Three Times a Lady,” and so many more. 

Don’t miss your chance to experience one of the most successful vocal groups, with more than 75 million albums sold worldwide, right here in Fort Wayne. 

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

On Saturday, Dec. 17, at 8 p.m., Piere’s is set to bring Jack Russell’s Great White to the big stage.

This particular version consists of ex-Great White singer Jack Russell alongside former Great White bassist-turned-guitarist Tiny “Montana” Cardenas, bassist Dan McNay (Ronnie Montrose Band), guitarist Robby Lochner (Fight), and drummer Dicki Fliszar (Bruce Dickinson). 

Folks can expect the band to be firing on all cylinders at Piere’s and belting out all the hits from their lengthy catalogue, including “Lady Red Light,” “Save Your Love,” and “Once Bitten, Twice Shy.”
