Published: Friday, Nov. 23, 2012 - 12:00 am | Page 5TICKET

TODAY

MUSIC

Dane Drewis Band

What: Dane Drewis brings his full band to Marilyn's. When he performs solo, it's a mellow acoustic show. That's not the case when he's backed by his bandmates on drums, bass, guitars, congas and saxophone. The rock-funk-reggae sounds will get you on your feet. Recently, Drewis has concentrated his performances in Southern California, so you don't want to miss this opportunity to catch him in Nor Cal. Also on the bill are Island of Black and White and the Diva Kings. When: 9:30 p.m.

Where: Marilyn's on K, 908 K St., Sacramento

Cost: $10

Information: (916) 446-4361, www.marilynsonk.com

Pinocchio

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

What: For the first time, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra will perform a live version of its rock opera "The Lost Christmas Eve." It was the final album in the group's Christmas rock opera trilogy.

The live show promises bigger and better: more lights, lasers and pyrotechnics.

Cost: $38-$58

'A Boy and His Dog'
