Five years ago, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Elvis Costello tore down Mahaffey Theater with his different-every-night “Just Trust” tour, loaded with a healthy mix of mega deep cuts, greatest hits, and a smattering of unreleased material.

Since that night, the 69-year-old has released both a solo album (Hey Clockface) and a new Imposters record (The Boy Named If), along with a reissue of material he did with the Burt Bacharach, which was initially planned out shortly before his death last February.

Tickets to see Elvis Costello and the Imposters with Charlie Sexton play Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on Thursday, Jan. 11 are still available and start at $63.25. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
