In the mood for some live entertainment this weekend? Here are my picks for the can't-miss live performances in the Coachella Valley and surrounding communities Oct. 2-4.

HOT PICK

Saturday: Trace Adkins at Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa

Country: Before Louisiana native Trace Adkins became a country singer, he played football at Louisiana Tech University and worked on oil rigs. He moved to Nashville in 1992 and played in honky-tonks. After all that, the title of his 1996 debut album, "Dreamin' Out Loud" is fitting, because the album went platinum and he continued to have success through the 2010s with four No. 1 singles on Billboard's Country Airplay chart, and 15 singles on the Top 10 Hot Country Songs chart.
