Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

Chances are that if you wanted to see Duran Duran tonight at Dodge Theater, you’ve already got a ticket for that seat closest to the stage so that if you squint hard enough it’ll be almost like hearing “Rio” for the first time back in 1982.
Please allow me to suggest an alternative in the form of The Marcus Miller Band at Rhythm Room. Reading the write-up for the event should be enough to persuade you, but should you need further proof that what awaits you is a bass-fueled, fabulous night, consider the following.
Miller played in a band called Legends featuring Eric Clapton and David Sanborn. Fender produces Miller’s signature basses in four and five string versions.
