Brent Cobb & The Fixin’s
Country artist Brent Cobb and his band The Fixin’s come to the Guild as part of their “Ain’t Rocked in a While” tour in support of the album of the same name, which was released in July. Georgia’s Cobb has toured widely and released multiple albums, as well as writing songs for other artists. For this new album, he blends classic country sounds with a classic rock influence, collecting his “loudest, rowdiest and downright wildest songs to date,” according to his artist description on the Guild’s website. Indie-rock band Me Like Bees opens the show.
Nov. 16, 7 p.m., The Guild Theatre, 949 El Camino Real, Menlo Park; $34-$84; guildtheatre.com.
‘Burnout Paradise’
Australian experimental theater company Pony Cam brings its “Burnout Paradise” to Stanford. The show – ” a delusional and physical celebration of our collective struggle to establish clear boundaries in our lives” – involves four treadmills, four performers and “a desperate attempt to complete a series of escalating tasks that confront the limitations of the performers’ bodies, minds, and spirits,” according to Stanford Live’s event page. There will be a post-performance talk-back with members of Pony Cam following the Nov. 13 show.
Nov. 13-15, The Studio at Bing Concert Hall, 327 Lasuen St., Stanford; general admission $59.40; live.stanford.edu.
