Leave it to a former craftsman (furniture upholstery, we should add) to construct a rock-solid foundation for a musical career that goes the distance. Former White Stripes frontman Jack White is still out there, recording, touring and running his spectacularly eccentric record label Third Man. White comes to Orlando on the wings of his most recent album, Frozen Charlotte, and high-profile appearances on SNL, Stephen Colbert’s final broadcasts and Coachella.
Just as exciting to us, though, is the opening band for this Hard Rock Live show. Central Florida freak-garage rampagers The Hickeys will be taking the stage right before White, and it’s so great to see an Orlando-adjacent group on this venue’s stage, much less one affiliated with the young art-damaged Central Florida underground. Hickeys includes members of Eggs and Orlando’s Greasy Bitches, and between this gig and an upcoming record release on Total Punk, their time might be now.
8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16, Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com, SOLD OUT.
