Guitar Guy
Blues man, no group. One of the world’s great guitarists and foremost living legends of the blues, Buddy Guy has eight Grammys, a National Medal of Arts, a space in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame … and a date in Norman this month to share some licks, keep his 50-plus-year career rolling and celebrate that, as his latest album says, The Blues Is Alive and Well. September 20, Riverwind Casino
Vocal Warm-Up
Mi-mi-mi-mi … Armstrong Auditorium is launching into a dazzling new season of its performing arts series, and opening with a four-part bang.

Fall Foilage
The challenge: make the best sculpture from the assigned material. The juror: award-winning architect and OU College of Architecture Dean Hans Butzer. The rewards: $3,000 in prizes for winning participants, plus fascination and potential creative inspiration for viewers. The artistic medium: a single sheet of aluminum foil. The Firehouse Art Center’s Foil Sculpture exhibition invites creative reevaluation of an ordinary material, and the results should definitely be worth a close look. September 13-October 19, Firehouse Art Center
Park It
