LEHIGH VALLEY WEATHER

8 DAYS A WEEK

They're going their way: Byrds founder and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Roger McGuinn, above, and five-time Grammy Award winner Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives take the stage, 7:30 p.m. Nov. 8, Musikfest Cafe, ArtsQuest Center, SteelStacks, 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem. Get ready to hear Byrd's classics ("Mr. Tambourine Man," "You Ain't Going Nowhere" and "Turn, Turn, Turn") as well as personal favorites from Stuart and McGuinn. The concert, borne out of Stuart's weekly TV show, combines a bit of the Grand Ol' Opry with the 1960s Sunset Strip to celebrate foot-stompin', tail-shakin', honky tonkin', rockabilly music. The friendship between McGuinn and devoted Byrds fan Stuart has grown since they first met 13 years ago, although the duo has only performed about a half-dozen shows together to date. Stuart's best-known country tunes include "Hillbilly Rock," "Western Girls," "Tempted" and "The Whiskey Ain't Workin.'" Tickets: artsquest.org, 610-332-3378
