Bruce Springsteen, Tinashe and The Who are our picks for the best shows around Colorado this week. See you there, and if you don’t make it out, follow our music musings on and our selfies on . Oh, we have a Snapchat, too. Our name is HeyReverb. Hit us up.
Bruce Springsteen — March 31, Pepsi Center
Bruce Springsteen could never stop touring and his legacy would likely remain untarnished. At 66, the Boss’s verve and musicianship has hardly lost a step in the time since his songwriting prime. With roughly the touring frequency of the World Cup — he last came — he comes around just often enough to keep fans hungry. On March 31, he’ll play his 1980 classic “The River” to the Pepsi Center. If it marks your first Springsteen show, consider making a sign about it: The Boss has a habit of scanning the crowd’s homemade signs for song requests and photo ops. Tickets: $55-$150 via .
Tinashe — March 29, Ogden Theatre
Sitcom fans might know Tinashe Kachingwe from her small role as Celeste from CBS’s “Two and a Half Men.” But in the years since that show ended, Tinashe has positioned herself as one of today’s most exciting young R&B artists. She’s been compared to an edgier Janet Jackson, a score that the singles from her upcoming sophomore album, “Joyride,” relish in. Take “Party Favors,” for example, a feverish back-room banger that’s destined to be a hinge in every summer playlist this year. Catch it live at the Ogden Theatre on March 29. Tickets: $25-$40 via .
The Who — March 29, The Pepsi Center
Like Springsteen, The Who needs no introduction. If the Beatles lifted the Union Jack over the American-born expanse of rock and roll, the Who (along with the Rolling Stones) were the fireworks cracking out overhead. The band was and unapologetic in their rise to rock royalty (and ), embodying the spirit of the genre in one succinct line: The London boys have tacked on a few decades since then (and penned one of the of all time along the way). But as from their can attest, some 50 years after they first came together, The Who is still a veritable arena rock powder keg. Catch them at the Pepsi Center on March 29. Tickets: $39.50-$139.50 via .
