• Concert: Mariachi Los Camperos at Water Street Plaza Amphitheater

  Since 1961, LA-based Mariachi los Camperos have been bringing the beloved Mexican musical genre north of the border.

Jesus “Chuy” Guzman now leads the ensemble, which will descend upon Henderson for a night of vibrant and melodic entertainment. October 8, 7:30 p.m. $10, cityofhenderson.com. –C. Moon Reed

• Residency: John Fogerty at Encore Theater

  It’s Fogerty’s turn to return to his run at Wynn, but this time the rock legend has something different planned. “Last time I was doing my ’50 Year Trip,’ which had a lot of references and recollections of other music and symbolically represented Woodstock,” the 76-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist tells the Weekly. “For the near future, I’m refocusing on my own recordings throughout my life, and with my kids actually playing in the band, it’s a lot of fun for me to play my songs. It’s a new energy for me and the band.” October 9, 10 & 13, 8 p.m., $75-$250, Wynn, 702-770-9966. –Brock Radke
