Fans of acoustic and Americana should definitely make Gaelic Storm a priority when they perform Tuesday, Oct. 12 at the Puyallup Fair & Events Center's Americraft ShowPlex. If you've never heard of them, they're the Irish band in Titanic. But don't let that stop you.
Adam Lambert makes a stop on his Glam Nation Tour at the Puyallup Fair Tuesday, Sept. 21 (tickets go on sale Saturday, June 5, at 9 a.m.). He brings with him female guitarist Orianthi. Lambert was the season eight runner-up on American Idol - which means he actually won. Other than Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood - exceptions who went huge - it's hard to remember the names of the other six winners more or less the names of any subsequent albums or songs.
Tickets are $25, $30, $35, $45 for the Golden Circle, and include Fair gate admission, and seats are reserved.
