The Outlaws

This blast-from-the-past Southern rock band is bringing good old-fashioned music to The Palace Theatre this weekend. Known for their 1970s hits “Green Grass and High Tides” and “There Goes Another Love Song,” The Outlaws have been influential and dynamic for more than half a century in the music scene.

Even better, after decades of brotherhood on the road and in the studio, these musicians are still making new music and continuing to evolve while honoring their past legacy. The show will feature the Artimus Pyle Band.

The Outlaws will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at The Palace Theatre, 21 W. Otterman St., Greensburg. Tickets range from $55 to $110. Check out westmorelandcultural trust.org for more information.

‘Oliver’ at the Geyer

A classic musical based on an even more classic novel, “Oliver” brings Charles Dickens’ “Oliver Twist” to vivid life with unforgettable characters and an award-winning score. Even better, “Oliver” is the source material for a 1968 film, which won an Academy Award for best picture.

Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Geyer Performing Arts Center, 111 N. Pittsburgh St., Scottdale. This musical is fun for the whole family. Tickets are $20. Learn more at geyerpac.com.
