Norah Jones, Tenacious D return to Hayden Homes Amphitheater

Two shows are scheduled at Hayden Homes Amphitheater this week, and while both will no doubt be a fun time, the vibe will be very different.

On Tuesday night, jazz-pop singer-songwriter and understated star Norah Jones will return to Bend for the first time since 2012. Jones has nine Grammy awards on her shelf and is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her debut album “Come Away with Me,” which has sold around 27 million copies worldwide. That would put it somewhere among the 40 or so best-selling albums of all time. Of all time! Like … forever!

More recently, Jones has been releasing a series of singles, including collaborations with artists like Mavis Staples, Jeff Tweedy, Brian Blade and Rodrigo Amarante, who will open the Bend show.

Norah Jones, with Rodrigo Amarante: $39.50-$99.50, 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 21, doors open 5:30 p.m., Hayden Homes Amphitheater, 344 SW Shevlin Hixon Drive, Bend, bendconcerts.com.

Wednesday night will also bring the return of the comedic hard rock band Tenacious D, aka famous actor Jack Black and musical soulmate Kyle Gass. Like Jones, these two last graced the amphitheater’s stage in 2012, at which time they drew one of the biggest crowds in the venue’s history up to that point. My official review has been devoured by the unquenchable maw of the internet,  but I can summarize: It was a killer show!

Just last week, the D released a medley of songs by The Who to benefit Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun violence prevention organization, a video to go with said medley and their own line of peanut and chocolate chip fiber bars. You read that right.

Tenacious D, with Puddles Pity Party: SOLD OUT, 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 22, doors open 5:30 p.m., Hayden Homes Amphitheater, 344 SW Shevlin Hixon Drive, Bend, bendconcerts.com.
