Weekend roundup: Country, sacred steel blues and a flamboyant Christmas special

Lee Boys perform Saturday at Aces Live in Bradenton.

It's another busy week for concert, theater and, ah, Sinbad enthusiasts.

Here's what I have running in the Weekend section that hit the streets Thursday:

• Best of Area Stages: "Nutcracker," Sinbad, "Love, Sung in the Key of Aretha," "My Fair Holiday," "Liberace's Christmas Special," "Winterblunderland"

• "Country hit-maker Josh Thompson returns to Joyland"

•  "Lee Boys bring sacred steel to Aces Live"

• "FST's Kids Komedy Club holiday shows"

• My editor Jana Morreale's excellent "Holiday lights tour" piece and more entertainment options here and here.
