Sometime in the early-‘90s, Florida State University’s student body voted on who it wanted to play a homecoming celebration: Eventual Nobel laureate Bob Dylan, or Bruce Hornsby. In the end, Mr. “The Way It Is”—who actually appeared on Dylan’s Under the Red Sky around the same time—won the vote by a landslide.

Over three decades later, the 68-year-old is celebrating 25 years since the release of Spirit Trail, and every ticket purchased to this gig comes with a copy of a 25th anniversary, 3-CD reissue of the album in question, which will play a small role in Hornsby’s setlist.

Tickets to see Bruce Hornsby play downtown Clearwater’s Bilheimer Capitol Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 18 are still available and start at $61.50.
