DWIGHT YOAKAM

In January, Atlantic City Weekly praised Yoakam thusly: He “developed his own unique twist on the Bakersfield sound of roadhouse rockabilly and wailing laments about pain and heartache.” Also a character actor (he was the abusive Doyle Hargraves in “Sling Blade”), Yoakam released his first album of new music in seven years, “3 Pears.” The 2012 album, featuring collaborations with Beck and Kid Rock, peaked at No. 18 on Billboard's 200. 8 p.m. March 5 at The Florida Theatre, 128 E. Forsyth St., Downtown. $38.50-$63.50, 355-2787. floridatheatre.com
