SuperDre If you're looking for a unique spin on techno, SuperDre will deliver with her tried and true blend of minimal tech, electro, retro, and deep house. A pioneer in her own right, SuperDre was instrumental in reviving the electronic scene in Grand Rapids, holding down a weekly at the popular club Billy's for years. Classically trained, she's a band nerd at heart with a major in music business and has no shortage of accomplishments. From producer, actress, and all-around hustler, SupreDre is a true force to be reckoned with. She was voted the area's DJ of the Year in 2009 and top 10 most influential out of the region. Oh yeah, and she really knows how to fill a dance floor. Splitting her time between touring the world and building an empire, SupreDre is one of the hardest-working DJs you'll meet. Detroit, her second home, has always been a source of inspiration and she's certainly no stranger to the scene. She cites influences like Cybotron, Missy Elliott, Magda, Loco Dice, Daft Punk, and Claude VonStroke. And all of that should give a decent indication of what to expect from a SuperDre set. — Rai Skotarczyk SuperDre plays the Polish Village Café on Friday, March 3 at 11:30 p.m.; 2990 Yemans St, Hamtramck; Soundcloud.

Valley Hush: "There's no denying that Valley Hush is making sweet pop music, but with Vanicelli's soaring vocals and producer/guitarist Alex Kaye's expansive production, Valley Hush's sound is an ever-changing landscape of what pop music means to them. "Pop music is a very diverse genre, so there's some of it that we like, and some of it that we really do," says Vanicelli."

Sunday, 1/22 Theresa Caputo @ Sound Board You might know this uniquely coiffed East Coaster as the Long Island Medium, which is the same name as her TLC reality show series. Caputo channels the spirits of those who have died and connects them to their living loved ones. During this appearance at Motor City Casino’s Sound Board, she’ll talk about her life as a medium before doing some spirit channeling with the audience. We suggest bringing tissues. Show starts at 7:30 p.m.; 2901 Grand River Ave., Detroit; soundboarddetroit.com; 800-745-3000; tickets are $65-$125.

Wednesday, 1/11 Phantom of the Opera @ Detroit Opera House Phantom of the Opera — the longest running show on Broadway — is coming out of the shadows to make another appearance at the Detroit Opera House. The sordid love story is shrouded in mystery and suspense, and of course, amazing musical numbers. It follows the main character, Christine Daaé, who’s attracted the clandestine attention of a mysterious, disfigured musical genius and follows the wily antics and murderous lengths he’s willing to go to in order to have her to himself. Of course, a normal, handsome, rich guy is also in love with her, which further complicates things. First-timers and repeat attendees are sure to be dazzled and amazed. Show starts at 8 p.m.; 1526 Broadway, Detroit; 313-237-7464; michiganopera.org; tickets start at $35.

Saturday, 12/17 Winter Magic Weekend: Home for the Holidays @ Campus Martius Park This weekend is your last chance to enjoy an evening of boozy winter fun in Campus Martius before this series comes to a close. The event features a wine and beer tasting and attendees are asked to don ugly Christmas sweaters, mostly because now, everywhere you go during the holidays ,you’re expected to wear an ugly Christmas sweater. Anyway, the whole thing takes place under a heated tent, which is great because the forecast for this evening is 20 degrees with a strong chance of snow showers. Ambiance, amiright? There will also be live entertainment, a selfie station, complimentary coat check, and a keepsake commemorative glass will also add to the merriment and festivities. Starts at 7 p.m.; 800 Woodward Ave., Detroit; wintermagicweekends.com; presale tickets are $20; 21 and up.

Wednesday, 12/14 Home Alone with the DSO @ Detroit Symphony Orchestra In 1990 Kevin McCallister woke up on the third floor of his family’s suburban Chicago home and found himself home alone — that is until a pair of bandits broke in and memorable hijinks ensued. The American classic is the highest grossing live-action comedy in the country, and spawned three sequels and launched the career of one Macaulay Culkin (and arguably Rory and Kieran Culkin’s too). Nearly three decades later, the movie is still beloved, thanks to ’90s nostalgia. The film will be shown in high definition on a giant screen, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra will perform John Williams’ original score live. Starts at 7:30 p.m.; 3711 Woodward Ave., Detroit; 313-576-5111; dso.org; tickets start $70.

Sat-Sun, 12/3-4 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer the Musical @ Fox Theatre Baby boomers and millennials alike get a warm, fuzzy feeling when Burl Ives begins to retell the tale of a certain red-nosed reindeer. The 1964 made-for-TV movie has long been considered a classic, and like all classics it’s now been bastardized by a touring musical. At least all the integral characters — Rudolph, Clarice, Donner, Comet, Hermey the elf, and Yukon Cornelius — made it into the stage show. As for those warm, fuzzy feelings? Well, they must have been miscast. Shows start at 1 p.m., 4:30 p.m., and 8 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Sunday; 2211 Woodward Ave., Detroit; olympiaentertainment.com; 313-471-3200 tickets are $25, $37, $45, and $60.

Friday, 11/18 The Fray @ The Fillmore Don’t lie to yourself: Every red-blooded American can identify at least three songs by the Fray: “How to Save a Life,” “Over My Head,” and “You Found Me.” Their fourth album, Helios, was released in 2014, and it was pretty impressive. They’ve been darlings for 96.3 WDVD since 2005, so it’s no surprise the “Everything but the rap” radio station is sponsoring the show. They’ll be joined by American Authors, who gained a considerable amount of airtime with their insatiably catchy pop hit, “Best Day of My Life.” The show starts at 7 p.m.; 2115 Woodward Ave., Detroit; thefillmoredetroit.com; Tickets are $15 - $65.

Friday, 11/4 Hedwig and the Angry Inch @ The Michigan Theater So, this isn't just your run-of-the-mill Hedwig and the Angry Inch screening, which would honestly be awesome enough. This is a special Get Out the Vote screening featuring a live commentary from John Cameron Mitchell aka the first Hedwig, and the film/musical's writer and director. The film is the story of Hedwig, the victim of a botched sex-change operation who is also genderqueer rock star. She's a German immigrant trapped in Kansas, who eventually finds love and acceptance in this film version of the Tony Award-winning punk rock musical. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.; 603 E. Liberty St., Ann Arbor; michtheater.org; Tickets are $8-$10.
