April Concert Calendar: Tim McGraw, Toto, Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Andrea Bocelli & more

April brings an interesting assortment of concerts our way.

Musical stars like Tim McGraw, Bonnie Raitt, Andrea Bocelli and Todd Rundgren will headline Pittsburgh stages.

From blues legend Buddy Guy to a Hall-less John Oates; Toto to Molly Tuttle, and Beaver County chart-toppers The Jaggerz on an oldies lineup with Little Anthony, Gary Puckett and the Lovin' Spoonful, you've got interesting concert options.

Comedians Kevin Hart, Jim Breuer and Matt Rife also head here looking for laughs, and who knows what to expect from "Napoleon Dynamite Live" at Stage AE and "Vanderpump Rules" reality TV star Tom Sandoval leading his rock band at Jergel's Rhythm Grille.
