Anyone who has ever tried to purchase tickets for Taylor Swift knows what a nightmare it can be. Many folks will strategize with spreadsheets, group chats, multiple computers, social media, and even signing up for alerts from credit card companies to get their hands on some. 

Despite their best efforts, most of the time the kids are left crying and you feel like a failure. Not even seeing repeated shots of Swift rooting on her boyfriend during Kansas City Chiefs games can help.

Well, I’m happy to announce Swifties near and far will want to be in Fort Wayne on Saturday, March 15,  as The Clyde Theatre welcomes Let’s Sing Taylor: A Live Band Experience

This show will bring Swift’s expansive and sacred catalog to life with an energetic, spot-on live band experience full of iconic costume changes and more. 

Fans have even been known to attend these shows in costume. 

Sure, it might not be the real thing, but you will hear all the same hits, be able to easily purchase tickets, have easy access to the venue, and have a few extra hundred dollars in your wallet. 

Tickets for this show are on sale at clydetheatre.com, over the phone at (800) 514-3849, or in person at The Clyde box office and Sweetwater Sound.

Catch live music at Guitar Exchange

On Saturday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m., swing on over to Fort Wayne Guitar Exchange, 1517 N. Wells St., as they host Arts & Music on Wells. 

The free-admission night will include artwork by Sarah Gayle as well as live music by Juandissimo & Friends, Honeydue, and Sahara

Eagles Theatre welcomes you to the jungle

Honeywell Arts & Entertainment have announced a Guns N’ Roses tribute at Eagles Theatre in Wabash for the evening of Friday, Feb. 28. 

Son of a Gun bring the thrill and intensity of a full-blown GNR stadium show to venues of any size, minus the ego clashes, bad behavior, and excessive tardiness of the real thing. 

What you will get is a pedal-to-the-metal performance of all GNR classics. 

Son of a Gun features Ari Kamin, frontman for original GNR drummer Steven Adler’s solo band. 

Just down the street, Honeywell Center’s calendar also got a little busier with the addition of a few more shows that include the Prince tribute band Marshall Charloff & The Purple Xperience on Friday, March 7, and the legendary Three Dog Night on Saturday, March 8. 

Tickets for all of these shows go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 27, by going to honeywellarts.org or visiting the box office at 275 W. Market St. in Wabash.
