Troubadour Concert Series presents Bruce Hornsby The Kentucky Theatre, 214 E. Main St., $45.50-87.50. From the venue website: "Bruce Hornsby's work displays a creative iconoclasm that's been a constant in the artist's two-and-a-half decade recording career. His commercial stock soared early on, when 'The Way It Is' – the title track of Bruce Hornsby and the Range's 1986 debut album--became the most-played song on American radio in 1987, winning ASCAP's Song of the Year award. 'The Way It Is' and subsequent hits as 'Mandolin Rain' and 'Every Little Kiss,' established Hornsby as popular pop act, while high-profile work with the likes of Don Henley and Huey Lewis made him an in-demand collaborator. … The diverse and prestigious list of Hornsby collaborators now includes Ornette Coleman, Bob Dylan, Bela Fleck, Charlie Haden, Bonnie Raitt, Elton John, Branford Marsalis, Pat Metheny, Robbie Robertson, Leon Russell, Chaka Khan, Wayne Shorter, Squeeze, Tupac Shakur and Sting."
