Steve Miller at the Providence Performing Arts Center

Providence Performing Arts Center

First he was a blues freak (few guitarists who come up in Chicago aren't), then he was a Frisco hippie with lots of imaginative songs, then he was a kinda cheesy chart king who nailed hit after hit ("Jungle Love," "Rockin' Me," "Take the Money and Run"), forever securing his place as a classic rocker. In other words, Steve Miller has been around the block. I fell for the man in the middle, and still actively listen to such gems as Sailor and Your Saving Grace. I know in my heart that most fans are down (regardless of the cheese) with the "Fly Like an Eagle" guy. No prob: our hero will likely get to both at the Providence Performing Arts Center, 220 Weybosset Street, at 7:30 pm | $85-$45 | 401.421.ARTS | ppacri.org
