Beyoncé on the field
No one can argue Beyoncé doesn't belong in the superstar throne room: From her R&B roots to her on-screen roles and pop star status, everything she touches gets fans wanting more. She recently dropped a screaming bomb of visual and musical pop culture with her album "Lemonade," which also included drifts into country music, including the single "Daddy Lessons," currently working its way up the Billboard charts.

Belvederes in the spotlight
Fitzgerald's is hosting a family affair Saturday night when far Northwest suburban-based roots rockers The Belvederes take the stage. The Belvederes - John Ford, Tyler Kock, Joe Nocchi and Joe Alonzo - will pack the headlining set with their own original music, but they also get the chance to play behind rock and R&B opener Bart Alonzo, father of drummer Joe and a musical godfather of sorts to the band. 9 p.m. Saturday, May 28, at Fitzgerald's, 6615 W. Roosevelt Road, Berwyn. $10. (708) 788-2118 or fitzgeraldsnightclub.com.
