Lately, Phoenix-native actor and director Ben Giroux has been building his career on nostalgia. In 2017 he directed, starred in and co-wrote a music video with Jensen Reed honoring the decade of pizza bagels, beanie babies and crazy patterns called “Back to the 90’s.” The track, which reached 114 million views on Facebook, charted at No. 11 on and landed them in Las Vegas with the Backstreet Boys in June 2017.

SEPT. 28 Camila and Sin Bandera

Individually, duos Camila and Sin Bandera are two prime exponents of Mexican pop-rock, with an emphasis on romantic sounds and, in Sin Bandera’s case, R&B-flavored crooning. The two acts are touring together in a show that sees both individual sets and collaborative moments between both bands. The tour is already captured on disc and DVD as “4 Latidos Tour.”

8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28. Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $68.50 and up. 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.
