Kellie Pickler Sometimes it's just amazing that the country bumpkin from Albemarle has grown up to grace large stages. Her Jessica Simpson-like ignorance won over the hearts of American Idol viewers, though I'd say her career has been far from Carrie Underwood's. Still, she's a familiar name and this would be considered a local show. Opening for Rascal Flatts. $35.25-$75.57, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, www.livenation.com (Jeff Hahne)
