Tuesday, May 5: Etta James at Turning Stone
Etta James and the Roots Band will be at the Showroom at Turning Stone Resort and Casino for an 8 p.m. show. Tickets for the event are $55, $60, and $70.
The 71-year-old James, who may be best known for her song “At Last,” has a career spanning five decades. She’s won four Grammys, and in 2003 received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. She has also been honored by the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame, the Blues Hall of Fame, and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
In 2008, James’ music was introduced to a new generation of fans in the film Cadillac Records. She also found herself at the center of a controversy after having criticized Beyonce for singing “At Last” at one of President Obama’s inaugural balls.
