Sturgill Simpson With his 2014 breakthrough Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, Kentucky-born Sturgill Simpson helped rejuvenate the genre with a neo-outlaw sound. He’s spent the rest of his career gleefully defying expectations: tapping Amy Winehouse’s former backing band the Dap-Kings for the Grammy-winning A Sailor’s Guide to Earth, soundtracking an anime film with the hard-rocking Sound & Fury, and releasing a suite of bluegrass albums in 2020 and 2021. When a vocal cord injury seemed like it might end his career, Simpson once again pivoted. Released under the moniker Johnny Blue Skies last year, Simpson’s Passage du Desir exists somewhere between Jimmy Buffet and Pink Floyd, but the live shows are on another level. Simpson and his tight band draw from his entire catalog, interspersed with long stretches of improvisational noodling to give his voice a rest — delighting fans of jam bands. And somehow, it’s still very country. Starts at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 10 at Meadowbrook Amphitheatre, 3554 Walton Blvd., Rochester Hills; ticketmaster.com. Tickets start at $59.50.
