Eggers' book, "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius," was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and "A Hologram for the King" was a finalist for the 2012 National Book Award. He is also the founder of the independent publishing company McSweeney's. If you can't make Eggers' talk, author Anthony Doerr will be visiting in February and Siddhartha Mukherjee in April. // 7pm.

Karl Denson's Tiny Universe

MUSIC—Karl Denson, a phenomenal funk artist currently serving as the saxophonist for The Rolling Stones, will take a break to travel to Bend with his group Karl Denson's Tiny Universe. Denson's sax skills are legendary and this show will be as jazzy as it is funky. Word is audiences can expect super-charged covers of iconic artists such as the Beastie Boys, Prince and The White Stripes, plus originals. But don't wait, because there's a good chance this show will sell out in advance. // 9pm. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., Bend. $25 adv., $30 door. Tickets available at bendticket.com.
