Joint performance, with a full backing band, by these 2 veteran country-folk singer-songwriters whose debut collaboration, Buddy and Jim, is an Americana Radio chart-topping collection of vintage covers and newly written songs paying homage to the long country music tradition of male duet acts. Lauderdale’s own songs, which have provided hits for the likes of George Strait and Vince Gill, typically offer an intoxicating blend of Bakersfield backbeat, mountain ache, and edgy romanticism, and Miller, who is also a virtuoso guitarist, is known for acerbic, emotionally cutting alt-country songs. Opening act is Max Gomez, a young Taos (NM) folk-rock singer-songwriter who recently released his debut New West CD, Rule the World. 8 p.m., The Ark, 316 S. Main. Tickets $26 in advance at Herb David Guitar Studio and the Michigan Union Ticket Office (mutotix.com), and at the door. To charge by phone, call 763-TKTS. [map]
