‘Waitress’ comes to Civic Center
The traveling Broadway production of “Waitress” comes to the Amarillo Civic Center Complex Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 27 and 2 p.m. Saturday, May 28. Patrons should use Entrance #12.
This performance was originally planned for June of 2020, but rescheduled due to COVID-19. Tickets purchased for those performances will be honored.
Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.”
When a baking contest in a nearby county — and a satisfying run-in with someone new — show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness.
Performances are recommended for a general audience. As an advisory to adults who might bring young people, “Waitress” is recommended for ages 13 and older.
Tickets for this show range from $30 to $70 (plus taxes and fees) and are available online at panhandletickets.com

Gio and The Hired Guns return to Amarillo
Giovannie and The Hired Guns make their way back to Amarillo at 8 p.m. Friday, June 10, at the Starlight Ranch.
In the last few years, Giovannie and The Hired Guns have grown from a massively beloved local live act to an undeniable new force on the national rock scene. Formed back when frontman Giovannie Yanez was working the counter at a pawnshop, the Stephenville-based band has amassed millions of streams almost entirely through word-of-mouth, thanks in no small part to their unforgettable live show — an electrifying spectacle that invariably leaves audiences sweat-drenched and ecstatic.
With their high-octane collision of rock-and-roll and country, Giovannie and The Hired Guns are now at work on a hotly anticipated new album showcasing their hard-hitting sound, emotionally raw storytelling, and the kind of authentically gritty energy that’s sorely missing from rock music today.
General admission tickets are $15 (plus taxes and fees); and VIP tickets are $40 (plus taxes and fees).

McCollum brings country sound to Amarillo
Singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and dedicated road warrior Parker McCollum is scheduled to perform at 8 p.m. June 11 at the Amarillo Coliseum. Patrons should use entrances #5, #7, #8 and #10.
McCollum began building a following in his native Texas with 2015s “The Limestone Kid”.
Born in Conroe, the 29-year-old entrepreneurially spirited artist bridges the gap between Texas’ homegrown music scene and Nashville’s country-industry headquarters. His song writing earned him a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Nashville in May 2018 and a recording deal with Universal Music Group Nashville in June 2019.
“Gold Chain Cowboy”, produced by Jon Randall, expands on McCollum’s outcast drifter ethos set forth on his widely praised Hollywood Gold EP released last fall which became the top-selling debut country EP of 2020.
McCollum has been named an Artist to Watch by Billboard, HITS Magazine, Rolling Stone, CMT, Opry Next Stage, Sirius XM, RIAA and more. He was named as ACM’s Best New Male Artist.
Tickets for this concert range from $32 to $82 (plus taxes and fees) depending on seating and are available at panhandletickets.com
Asleep at the Wheel returns to Starlight Ranch
Asleep at the Wheel makes its way back to Amarillo at 8 p.m. Saturday, June 11, at Starlight Ranch.
Founded in 1970, Asleep at the Wheel has been part of the American roots music landscape for more than 50 years. Although the band got its start on a farm in Paw Paw, West Virginia, Asleep at the Wheel became a cornerstone of the Austin scene upon its arrival in 1973.
Inspired by Western swing and honky-tonk country, the band has accrued 10 Grammy Awards. In the fall, a career retrospective recorded with the current lineup — and a few special guests — will carry the band back onto the road, where they’ve remained a staple for five decades.
Tickets for this concert are $25 (plus taxes and fees) for general admission; and $60 (plus taxes and fees) for VIP.
Tickets are available for purchase at prekindle.com. For more information, visit https://ift.tt/G5yclUH
