For the OP, this post had a bunch of very good suggestions. Hal and Mal's at the top, in my opinion. Check their calendar to see if they have any live bands during your Pearl visit. The missus and I went there to see Kevin Costner's band a few years ago and they were surprisingly good.

If you're looking to throw money away at casinos, Vicksburg (~50 miles) is the closest. Ameristar in particular has free shows fairly often with not-terrible bands.
