Pop, soul, country—take your pick. Neapolitans need not travel far for melodic variety this month, as not just one hit maker but a trio of big names is coming to Artis—Naples. artisnaples.org
Michael Bolton
Jan. 7
For some crowds his name alone may draw a chuckle, but for others the hard rocker-turned- serious balladeer makes the heart go pitter patter. Say what you want about his early boot off Dancing with the Stars and his Pizza Hut commercial; his distinct voice (and, yes, even its take on When a Man Loves a Woman) endures.

Jan. 30
Not to say you’ll never see this Country Music Hall of Famer and his white goatee on a stage again, but Rogers’ stop here is a part of his “The Gambler’s Last Deal” final world tour. You’ll get a good dose of his biggest hits alongside some reflection on his 50-year career via stories, photos and videos.
Gladys Knight
Jan. 24
