Eight Gigs: Nick Carter
Wed., Feb. 24, 7 p.m., Ace of Spades, $26-$30
If you are an individual with any inkling to see Nick Carter, you’re likely well-versed in everything I’m about to tell you in addition to knowing his preferred brand of boxer briefs, but just in case: The early-aughts teen idol of Backstreet Boy fame is a flurry of activity as he trots ahead of obscurity with the recent release of All American, the nearly sold-out Backstreet Boys Cruise, and the zombie Western Dead 7 that he is co-writing, directing and starring in (alongside members of O-Town, 98 Degrees and BSB). Catch his solo show before the BSB and Spice Girls reunion tour that is still a rumor but is probably definitely happening. 1417 R Street, www.nickcarter.net.
