10 movie and TV stars who brought concert tours to Birmingham

For some famous actors, film and TV acclaim simply isn’t enough. These stars moonlight as musicians, typically drawing enthusiastic crowds to their concerts — playing rock, folk, jazz, pop, R&B or bluegrass with varying degrees of success. In many cases, fans simply want to see a celebrity on stage, no matter what the level of music skill. (And hey, we’re perfectly fine with that.) Sometimes, though, an actor will display real talent as a singer or instrumentalist, earning extra applause.

Here are 10 well-known actors who’ve brought their concert tours to Birmingham, showcasing a passion for music. Although Johnny Depp has yet to perform here with Hollywood Vampires, and Keanu Reeves has been no closer than Atlanta with Dogstar, some big names have played in the Magic City in recent years. Let’s take a look.
