Reba’s in town

You know you’re a big deal in music when people can refer to you with one name. Such is the case with country legend Reba McEntire, who can just go by “Reba” these days and everyone knows who you’re talking about. McEntire will be bringing her current tour to Vivint Arena, 301 W. South Temple, Salt Lake City, on Saturday night, starting at 6:30 p.m. Opening acts are Terri Clark and The Isaacs. Tickets are available at VivintArena.com.
