Lady A at Fantasy Springs tops this weekend's nightlife in the Coachella Valley, May 11-13

HOT PICK

Friday

Country: If you're "Lookin' For A Good Time," Lady A is performing Friday at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. The band's music features superb harmonies, emotional and uplifting lyrics with a blend of country, rock 'n' roll and pop music. Some Lady A hits you can expect to likely hear are "Love Don't Live Here," "Our Kind Of Love," "American Honey" and "Downtown."

The band, which consists of Hillary Scott (lead vocals), Charles Kelley (lead vocals and guitar) and Dave Haywood (backing vocals, mandolin, piano and guitar), used to go by the name Lady Antebellum until 2020 because, as the members said, they didn't consider the pre-Civil War "associations that weigh down this word," including ties to slavery. The move came shortly after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.

If you go: 8 p.m., Friday, Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, 84-245 Indio Springs Parkway, Indio. $89 to $149. 760-342-5000. fantasyspringsresort.com

BEST BETS

Thursday

Jazz: Vocalist and Jazz musician Aubrey Logan has worked with some of the biggest names in music, such as Quincy Jones, Burt Bacharach, Josh Groban, Smokey Robinson and Pharrell Williams. But Logan, a trombonist, also sings and writes her own songs. She also isn't afraid to do her own takes on songs such as Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," Donna Summer's "Macarthur Park" and the standard "On the Sunny Side of the Street."

Logan and her quartet will perform Thursday at Jazzville inside Agua Caliente Casino Palm Springs.

If you go: 7 p.m., Thursday, Agua Caliente Casino Palm Springs, 401 East Amado Road, Palm Springs. $15 to $75. 951-494-0116. jazzvillepalmsprings.com

Friday

Metal: One of the biggest metal bands of the '80s was Skid Row, and the song "Youth Gone Wild" became a rock anthem, but the group wasn't afraid to show its softer side with power ballads such as "I Remember You" and "18 and Life." The band has been without its prominent vocalist, Sebastian Bach, since 1996, and has endured other lineup changes through the years.

Skid Row will perform Friday at Morongo Casino Resort & Spa.

If you go: 8 p.m., Friday, Morongo Casino Resort & Spa, 49-500 Seminole Drive, Cabazon. $18.

Alternative country: Nashville singer-songwriter Tennessee Jet is a natural storyteller, and that prowess comes out in his music. Raised on classic country music, the worlds of cinema and literature also shaped his songwriting. The moniker of Tennessee Jet sheds the enigmatic artist's true identity and provides creative freedom. He's a loner that performs all the instrumentals on his albums, and is a one-man show during live performances.

See for yourself on Friday when he performs at Pappy and Harriet's.

If you go: 8 p.m., Friday, Pappy and Harriet's, 53-688 Pioneertown Road, Pioneertown. $15. 760-228-2222. pappyandharriets.com

Saturday

Tribute: Even though The Beatles split over 50 years ago, the band's music remains timeless and multigenerational. The Fab Four, a Beatles tribute band, keeps the spirit of John, Paul, George and Ringo's magic alive and has received international acclaim. The band knows the entire Beatles catalog — even the members' solo material.

The Fab Four will perform Saturday at Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa in Rancho Mirage.

If you go: 8 p.m., Saturday, Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa, 32-250 Bob Hope Drive, Rancho Mirage. $25 to $60. 888-999-1995. aguacalientecasinos.com
