Tonight: Ex-American Idol Bo Bice at B.B. King Blues Club

Right where he should have been all along, working the suburban Southern rock bar circuit. No matter how high he placed, Bo Bice was never a great American Idol contestant—he never really craved the approbation. A few drunks shouting “Freebird”? More like it. Guaranteed that this show will be light on Bice “originals,” and heavy on the tribute. — JON CARAMANICA
