Pink Martini:

-

Performing since 1994, this beloved band mixes genres like world music, jazz, pop and classical music — or, as band founder Thomas Lauderdale has said, “if the United Nations had a house band in 1962, hopefully we’d be that band.” In 2021, a Pink Martini concert is a classy, uproarious affair with a dozen musicians performing songs in about 25 languages. Proof of vaccinatio­n or negative COVID test required to attend. 8 p.m. Tuesday. Balboa Theatre, 868 Fourth Ave., downtown. $41 to $65. sandiegoth­eatres.org

Béla Fleck: For his “My Bluegrass Heart Tour,” banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck returns to San Diego to showcase the genre that started his Grammy-winning, multidecad­e musical career: bluegrass. The concert will highlight beloved songs from the genre featuring an all-star band — mandolinis­t Sam Bush, dobro player Jerry Douglas, fiddler Stuart Duncan, bassist Edgar Meyer and guitarist Bryan Sutton. Proof of vaccinatio­n or negative COVID test required to attend. 8 p.m. Thursday. Balboa Theatre, 868 Fourth Ave., downtown. $33 to $68. sandiegoth­eatres.org

Paul Oakenfold: In the 1990s, Grammy-winning producer and DJ Paul Oakenfold was considered one of the best around, performing at clubs and parties around in the world and making remixes for bands like the Rolling Stones and Madonna. The British hitmaker is back on the road, performing an intimate show with blklght and DJ IDeaL.
