Cheyenne & Laramie this week: Black Jacket Symphony, Everclear and Evan Honer

Thursday is a double booking downtown, with Bon Jovi's 'Slippery When Wet' at the Civic Center and Everclear at The Lincoln, and Evan Honer follows on Friday.

It's a short week on the calendar but a busy Thursday. Two shows start at 7:30pm on November 5 within the same few downtown blocks, so you'll have to choose, and Friday adds a third worth getting out for. Here's the week of November 2–8 in Cheyenne.

Thursday, Nov 5 — The Black Jacket Symphony presents Bon Jovi's *Slippery When Wet*, Cheyenne Civic Center, 7:30pm. Black Jacket Symphony's format is simple: one classic album, played front to back, followed by a set of the band's greatest hits. That's how the McPherson Opera House describes this production. This fall's run has been working its way across the northern Plains and Rockies, with stops listed at the Fargo Theatre, the Helena Civic Center and Idaho Falls' Colonial Theatre before Cheyenne. The Civic Center, at 510 W. 20th St., has been the city's downtown performance hall since it opened in 1981, per Visit Cheyenne and Travel Wyoming. With close to 1,500 seats, it suits a night like this, when the whole room is going to sing "Livin' on a Prayer." Tickets are on AXS.

Thursday, Nov 5 — Everclear, The Lincoln, 7:30pm. Everclear's fall run is the Lucky 7 Tour, and the hook is that you help pick the setlist. Fans vote through the band's set.fan page, and the seven most-requested songs in each city get played that night, according to Consequence and iHeart. The band is also donating $1 from every ticket to MusiCares. The tour was announced with American Hi-Fi, per mxdwn, and it wraps November 22 in Nashville, so Cheyenne falls in the back half of the run. If there's a deep cut you want to hear, vote before Thursday. Tickets are on eTix.

Friday, Nov 6 — Evan Honer, The Lincoln, 7pm. The singer-songwriter is on the road with the It's An Even Longer Road Tour, which has been running since late October, with dates listed on Live Nation and at Logjam Presents in Montana. Cheyenne comes in the middle of a western swing for the tour, and the earlier 7pm start makes it an easy Friday night. Tickets are on eTix.

If there's a deep cut you want to hear, vote before Thursday.

That's the whole list this week, but it covers a lot of ground: a full-album tribute in the city's big hall, a '90s rock band playing a setlist chosen by the crowd, and a songwriter on a long tour. If you can only make Thursday, decide whether you'd rather sing along to Bon Jovi or help choose Everclear's set. Either way, Friday at The Lincoln is still open.
