Hartford this week: Ho99o9, Kansas and more

A short week with range: Kansas in Waterbury, LeAnn Rimes in Torrington, and Ho99o9 tearing up the room under the Webster.

It's a thin week on the Hartford-area calendar, with only a handful of shows listed, but the range is wide. You get a classic-rock institution, a country-pop star in a small-town theater, a guitar night downtown and a punk-rap riot under the Webster.

Wednesday, Jesse Cook plays Infinity Hall Hartford at 8 p.m.

Thursday, Kansas play the Palace Theater in Waterbury at 7:30 p.m. The date is on the band's own tour page, part of a fall headlining run that has since grown by eight more shows. If you've been meaning to hear "Carry On Wayward Son" in a room with real plaster ceilings, this is the week.

Friday, LeAnn Rimes brings her show to the Warner Theatre in Torrington at 7:30 p.m., an easy drive up Route 8 for a theater show.

Saturday is the one to circle if you like it loud. Ho99o9 play the Webster Underground at 8 p.m., co-headlining with N8NOFACE on Sincerely, The Void: North America 2026, a run that started in San Diego in late October and finishes at the end of November. The Underground is the downstairs room at the Webster on Webster Street, a building that opened as a movie house in 1937 and was recently bought by the New Jersey promoter Concert Crave. Expect a sweaty, close crowd; this one is best enjoyed near the front or not at all.

Wed, Nov 11 — Jesse Cook at Infinity Hall Hartford, 8 p.m.

Thu, Nov 12 — Kansas at the Palace Theater, Waterbury, 7:30 p.m.

Fri, Nov 13 — LeAnn Rimes at the Warner Theatre, Torrington, 7:30 p.m.

Sat, Nov 14 — Ho99o9, N8NOFACE at the Webster Underground, Hartford, 8 p.m.

Four nights, four very different crowds. If you only make one, let it be Saturday; you'll be hearing about it on Monday either way.
