Music Menu / News Smokey Robinson, JJ Grey & Mofro tonight (4/15/11)

Smokey Robinson This space is hardly enough to scratch the surface of what Smokey Robinson has meant to music. From being part of Motown’s first act, The Miracles, to having his touch set about a sound that’s endured the decades since, he’s truly a musical icon. Rarely do you get an opportunity to see a living legend, especially one who hasn’t slowed down yet. $76.10-$98.15. Ovens Auditorium. www.ovensauditorium.com. (Mike McCray)

JJ Grey & Mofro JJ Grey has that laid-back blues-y groove in his swagger that you’d think is from somewhere swamp-ridden (Florida, in his case). So, what better way to soak up his tunes than by soaking up the rays and getting soaked at the same time? This is the first of a two-day Spring Festival being held. Slaid Cleaves is joining JJ, while Saturday is highlighted by Bloodkin and Lucero. $20 advance two-day tickets; $25 day of show. U.S. National Whitewater Center. www.usnwc.org. (Jeff Hahne)
