Sportsmens presents Dale Watson & His Lone Stars for a night steeped in the sound he calls Ameripolitan, a blend of honky-tonk, outlaw country, western swing, and rockabilly. With a career spanning more than four decades and over 30 albums, Watson has earned national attention with appearances on Austin City Limits, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The Late Show with David Letterman, and he has shared stages with Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. The set draws from Unwanted, his 2026 album written and produced by Watson and recorded in Austin and Memphis. Highlights include the hard-charging Willie Waylon and Whiskey, the tender If You Really Loved Me (Outlive Me), and the nostalgic Life is Like a Song, all delivered with the kind of voice and twang built for a packed dancehall. Tickets are $35, plus online fee.

Coco in Concert Live to Film pairs the movie with a live performance of Michael Giacchino’s score by the BPO, with the full film projected overhead. The story follows Miguel, a boy who longs to be a musician, as he ventures into the Land of the Dead, a journey centered on family, memory, and heart. With the orchestra in the room, laughs feel bigger, quiet moments resonate together, and the music feels alive. Festival Encanto Hispano also returns that day with free activities, creating a full day of community, culture, and music at Kleinhans. This presentation is licensed by Disney Concerts.
