It’s a little eerie hearing Molly Ringwald cover Simple Minds’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me).” Is she actually begging us to remember that the Roseville native was the it girl of the ’80s? Now creepin’ toward 50, the star of Pretty in Pink and 16 Candles is leading a new life as a jazz singer. She’s not exactly a powerhouse or smokey seductress, but Ringwald definitely adds flair to American standards—and that iconic track from The Breakfast Club. For this homecoming show, she’ll be joined by her father and co-founder of the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society, Bob Ringwald. 4000 Rocklin Road in Rocklin, www.iammollyringwald.com.
