Lubbock entertainment in brief

Tesla rescheduled for Jan. 15

Classic rock group Tesla brings its rescheduled show of its Time to Rock! tour to the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center at 8 p.m. Jan. 15. This show was postponed from Sept. 13 and tickets previously purchased will be honored at this show.

Tesla may have been born in the mid 80s eruption of leather, spandex, and big hair, but this band has never been about those things. Hardly. Their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like The Allman Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Aerosmith.

After a blizzard of industry showcase gigs, Tesla quickly scored a deal with Geffen. Their 1986 debut album, "Mechanical Resonance", would eventually go platinum, nestled comfortably in the Top 40, and producing the iconic hard rock hits, “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.”

Remaining tickets range from $43 to $69, depending on seating, and are available through selectaseatlubbock.com or the civic center box office.

Cauthen brings acoustic performance to Cactus

Paul Cauthen brings an intimate, solo, acoustic performance to the Cactus Theater at 7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 15.

Cauthen pursued music into young adulthood, showcasing at Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos and forming the duo Sons of Fathers, whose early albums were produced by Lubbock legend Lloyd Maines.

After the group ran its course, Cauthen set off on his own in 2016, recording "My Gospel" partly in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The album made Rolling Stone's list of Top 40 Country Records that year. 2018’s "Have Mercy" EP led to Cauthen's Grand Ole Opry debut as a solo artist on June 22, 2018.

Tickets for this show are $55 for reserved first two rows (A-B); $40 for next eight rows (C-K); $30 for rows L-M and ADA; $25 for standard balcony; and $60 for balcony box seats.

Alamo screening 'Rings' extended edition

Alamo Drafthouse Lubbock is screening "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (extended edition)" at 1:45 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 22.

For much of the twentieth century, millions of readers worldwide had their own vision of what author J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth would – or should – look and sound like. But their wildest imaginings could scarcely top the magnificent visuals and the sweeping scope of director Peter Jackson's masterpiece, "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy, introduced to the world in "The Fellowship of the Ring", then followed by "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King", which tied "Titanic" and "Ben-Hur" for the most Academy Award wins (11) for one film.

Winner of a jaw-dropping 11 Oscars (including best picture), "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" is a finale that won't disappoint anyone who fell under the spell of director Peter Jackson's first two J.R.R. Tolkien adaptations. Armed with eye-scorching visual effects, outstanding actors, and some of the finest technicians in the business, Jackson does a superb job of wrapping up the saga of the battle for Middle-earth.

Tickets to this special screening are $10 and available in advance online at https://drafthouse.com/lubbock

Oh, what a story. Frankie Valli, who came to fame in 1962 as the lead singer of the Four Seasons, is hotter than ever in the 21st century.

Thanks to the volcanic success of the Tony-winning musical Jersey Boys, which chronicles the life and times of Frankie and his legendary group, such classic songs as “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Rag Doll,” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” are all the rage all over again.

Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O'Connor are a trio of Hollywood stars struggling to make the transition into the era of "talkies."

Alamo to screen classic 'Wild Bunch'

Alamo Drafthouse Lubbock is hosting a special screening of the classic western "The Wild Bunch" at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31.

William Holden leads a band of aging robbers through the hard world of the Old West as they try to outrun the bounty hunter (the legendary Robert Ryan) who is hot on their trail.

The balletic violence and weary fatalism that director Sam Peckinpah brings to his vision of the American West is underscored by some of the dirtiest and bloodiest performances from some of the toughest, ugliest actors of all time.

Ernest Borgnine, Ben Johnson, and Warren Oates shoot, screw, drink, and ride horses, all while imbuing the film’s harsh, empty world with a sense of real poetry.

This is a film about the mantle of violence passing from old professionals who live by a code to even more chaotic and deadly future generations. And what is the code these old men live by? Stand by your friends and against the world, take what you can get, and don’t kill civilians…unless they get in the way.

Tickets to this special screening are $7 and available online at drafthouse.com/lubbock/show/the-wild-bunch

TTU series presents Dirty Dozen Brass Band

Celebrating over 40 years Dirty Dozen Brass Band has taken the traditional foundation of brass band music and incorporated it into a blend of genres including Bebop Jazz, Funk and R&B/Soul.

Cinemark to screen 'Groundhog Day' for 30th anniversary

Cinemark Movies 16 and XD, 5721 58th St., is hosting a Fathom Big Screen Classics screening for the 30th anniversary of "Groundhog Day" at 7 p.m. Feb. 2 and at 4 and 7 p.m. Feb. 5.

Snowed in during a trip to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities, television weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) finds himself stuck in time, endlessly repeating Feb. 2. His world is inhabited by the same people every day, but they don't know Groundhog Day is repeating itself.

That gives him a certain advantage: He can find out what a woman is looking for in a man, and then the “next” day behave in exactly the right way to impress her. Luckily there is a woman close by to practice on. She's Rita (Andie MacDowell), Phil's long-suffering producer, who has had to put up with his tantrums, demands and surliness.

Gradually, Phil is able to see the error of his ways and improve his behavior until, finally, a Groundhog Day dawns when she finally likes him.

Tickets for this special screening are $12.45 and available online at fathomevents.com

Wolfe brings band to Cactus

Jon Wolfe brings his full band for a live performance at the Cactus Theater at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 3.

It’s world-class country music from the American heartland, informed by the great singers that inspired Wolfe — like George Strait, Garth Brooks (a fellow Okie), Clint Black, Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson and Dwight Yoakam, to name a few — yet fired by his own contemporary energy and vision.

Tickets for this show are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the show for all floor and standard balcony seats; and $40 in advance and $50 day of the show for limited balcony box seats (includes concessions).

Alamo hosting 'Moonstruck' brunch

A celebration of love, passion, family and life for the ages.

Join Alamo Drafthouse Lubbock for a special brunch showing of "Moonstruck" at 11 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 5.

John Patrick Shanley's tale of perfectly mismatched lovers deservedly won the 1987 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and it's a splendid piece of writing: uproarious yet touching, poignant yet playful.

Cher (who won the Best Actress Oscar) is fiercely funny as Loretta Castorini, a widowed bookkeeper who has given up on waiting for Mr. Right and agreed to marry kind, bland Johnny (Danny Aiello). However, when Loretta meets Johnny's wild-hearted brother, Ronny (the volcanic/vulnerable Nicolas Cage), her dull life suddenly spirals out of control and she is transformed from frumpy to ravishing.

Order from a special brunch menu or off the regular menu.

Cinemark to screen Pearl biopic

"Facing the Laughter: Minnie Pearl" is a full-length documentary about the life and work of Sarah Cannon, aka Minnie Pearl.

Sarah was a serious, educated woman who had once dreamed of becoming a Shakespearean actress, but she found fame playing a simple country girl who often made herself the butt of her jokes. Instantly identifiable – even in silhouette – by her straw hat with a price tag dangling from its brim, Minnie Pearl became an icon of country music radio, stage and TV.

When she greeted audiences, they enthusiastically echoed her signature “Howdee” in a happy roar. While Sarah and Minnie were two sides of a coin, they share a legacy of compassion, empowerment and humor.
