Black Kids, Frankie Valli, Jordan Tice, Jacksonville Jazz Collective
Our weekly Go concert recommendations are updated every Monday morning. For a comprehensive list of this week’s concerts, go to our live music calendar page.
Indie Rock
Black Kids – Wednesday, November 15
Intuition Ale Works | Downtown Jacksonville
Fifteen years ago, the dance-forward Jacksonville indie rock band Black Kids went from the dance floor of Art Bar Thursday Night to Late Night with David Letterman on the strength of their debut Partie Traumatic, and its uniquely infectious lead single “Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You.” (Read the story of the Black Kids rise and fall here). As nostalgia for mid-aughts indie bands intensifies, the band is once again an in-demand live act. They play Intuition on Wednesday with one of our emerging-local faves: Luci Lind.
Doo Wop/Rock ‘n’ Roll
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons – Thursday, November 16
Florida Theatre | Downtown Jacksonville
The falsetto that spawned innumerable imitators, the original Jersey boy Frankie Valli is joined by the Four Seasons for a special night of doo wop and rock ‘n’ roll hits at the Florida Theatre on Thursday.
Symphonic
Home Alone in Concert – Friday & Saturday, November 17 & 18
Jacoby Symphony Hall | Downtown Jacksonville
The Jacksonville Symphony takes on yet another of composer John Williams (Jaws, Star Wars, Jurassic Park) recognizable scores, this time with the 1990 Macauley Culkin-led Xmas hijinks classic Home Alone. Both performances (Friday and Saturday) kick off at 7 p.m.
Metal/Psych/Punk
Telekinetic Yeti w/ J.D. Pinkus – Friday, November 17
Kona Clubhouse | Arlington
