Rimes' last Blaisdell visit was in February 2000. The singer is now touring behind her 2002 CD, "Twisted Angel," which launched the second (and more heavily-played) pop radio go-round of her 2000 hit "Can't Fight The Moonlight." Remixes of the song climbed as high as no. 3 on Billboard's dance music sales chart last year.
Jewelry with style

Avoiding clichés like the plague? To the rescue: The Designer Trunk show. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday through Monday at The Gallery and Gardens LLC, Gillian van Royen will open up all of her one-of-a-kind jewelry designs. Normally, this exclusive jewelry is sold only on the Web.
What's more, van Royen will be available during the show as a fashion consultant.
Admission is free. Call 239-8146.
A taste of China
It's in keeping with guitarist Gary Lucas' restless m.o. that after working extensively with the inimitable Captain Beefheart — the music world's creative, blissed-out equivalent of a Cuisinart — Lucas moved on to explore pre-World War II Chinese pop from regionally iconic vocalists Bai Kwong and Chow Hsuan.
Earlier this year, Lucas released "The Edge Of Heaven," a well-received CD of American-influenced jazz, blues and swing straight out of Shanghai. Lucas — who in his 30-plus year career has played with Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and Jeff Buckley — performs the music on solo acoustic guitar Friday at the Honolulu Academy of Arts' Doris Duke Theatre.
Tickets for the 8 p.m. show are $20 ($15 for seniors, students, UH faculty and staff, and Academy members). For tickets, call UH Outreach College at 956-6878.
