Just when you thought B.B. King might be calling it quits, the 84-year-old king of the blues announces another tour, with fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Buddy Guy, no less. The revered bluesmen will team up Feb. 20 at the Orpheum Theatre. Tickets, priced from $58.50 to $78.50, will go on sale Saturday.

In other concert news, the Steve Miller Band will perform its abracadabra rock Jan. 2 at Mystic Lake Casino. But there are more shows slated for this year, including beloved indie-rock whistler/violinist Andrew Bird flying solo on Dec. 10-11 at St. Mark's Cathedral in Minneapolis, and the Sexy Soul Tour featuring quiet-storm crooner Eric Benet, funky hometown heroes Mint Condition and newly funk-rockin' Ledisi on Nov. 12 at the Orpheum.
