Napa’s recently-restored Uptown Theatre has opened (finally!) at an opportune juncture in the North Bay. With Konocti Harbor Resort closed and the Wells Fargo Center restructuring their booking, the Uptown’s management have picked up the ball and are spelling out acts on their marquee that used to grace those venues: Ani DiFranco, Foreigner, Lewis Black, Asia, B.B. King, Merle Haggard. Smaller performers who might not ordinarily play an opulently renovated 860-seat 1930s theater get a chance, too, with a handful of interesting double bills, including Richard Thompson and Loudon Wainwright III together later this month. This weekend, it’s Grammy Award-winner Shawn Colvin paired with the bespectacled Lisa Loeb on Saturday, May 22, at the Uptown Theatre. 1350 Third St., Napa. 8pm. $37-$47. 707.259.0123.Gabe Meline
