Hall & Oates have completed the musical figure-eight over the past few years from rulers of the radio to critical punching bags and guilty pleasures back to respected artists. After all, indelible melodies and performances are stronger than musical trends — or good, sane haircut choices — right? Sunday at the Paramount. $49.95-$69.95. TicketHorse
Greg Proops is a rare blend in the comedy world, an accessible (if mischievous) stand-up who’s also a comedy connoisseur’s best friend. Devastatingly nimble and known for his improv work on “Whose Line Is It Anyway,” Proops is also a seasoned actor and radio host. He plays multiple sets today and Saturday at Comedy Works South at the Landmark. $28.
Yonder Mountain String Band formed around tiny Nederland more than a decade ago, but what a decade it’s been for the rootsy four-piece. Last year saw the band opening Invesco Field at Mile High for none other than Barack Obama — when he received the Democratic nomination. Now the Colorado band is readying its new record, “The Show,” out Tuesday, and prepping for tonight’s headlining date at Red Rocks. $36.75-$39.75. .
