Pop-infused country on tap with Anderson East

Anderson East may be based in Nashville, Tennessee, but his music isn't constrained by country limitations. His new album, “Maybe We Never Die,” contains influences as seemingly opposed as disco and ‘90s R&B, and he's touring with a disco ball and a band including flute and trumpet. NPR Music calls his tunes an “'80s pop-infused elixir,” and Rolling Stone praises the “engaging soul of his voice.” Opening for him at 7 p.m. Dec. 17 at the Newport Music Hall will be fellow Nashvillian Savannah Conley. Masks and proof of vaccination or negative COVID test are required. Tickets: $25 (614-461-5483, promowestlive.com)
