True story: Five middle-aged guys from Utah have managed to become a real live touring act after they covered One Direction with a piano and deconstructed cello. Thanks, YouTube! Known as The Piano Guys (though only one plays the piano), they offer a special brand of classically tweaked pop songs and original tunes. The recipe has landed them sold-out venues worldwide, and (you guessed it) they’re coming to a stage near you. Watch as they mix Mozart and Beethoven with David Guetta and Taylor Swift in a unique performance Monday at House of Blues, 2200 N. Lamar St. Doors are at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8. Tickets range $25 to $40. Call 214-978-BLUE or visit houseofblues.com
