Hornsby has proved a versatile figure since emerging on '80s pop radio with plaintive piano hits like "The Way It Is," logging road time on the jam-rock circuit, making his way into bluegrass, dipping his toes into Hollywood and now penning material for a Broadway musical. Hornsby and his crack jazz-rock outfit arrive with tunes from their latest Verve release, "Levitate." 8 p.m., Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel, 2901 Grand River, Detroit.
