?uestlove & D'Angelo First Avenue : 7:00 p.m. June 23
After D'Angelo became an increasingly reluctant sex symbol, he retreated from the spotlight following 2000's revered R&B classic Voodoo. The return of one of the most luxurious, emotive voices in popular music has been in feverish demand. There have been teases, false starts, rumors, cameos,... More >>

Yeah Yeah Yeahs First Avenue : 7:30 p.m. June 24
Since the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' early-'00s arrival on New York's then-popping rock landscape, no band besides the one of Karen O, Nick Zinner, and drummer Brian Chase has been able to give off quite the same energy, the same chemistry, the same cool. It was a shame we had to go nearly four years... More >>
Minneapolis (Downtown)	Indie Rock

Tedeschi Trucks Band Fitzgerald Theater : 7:30 p.m. June 19
Combining the power of an 11-piece band with the agility of a much smaller unit, the Tedeschi Trucks Band in less than three years has established itself as one of the most formidable contemporary live acts. Of course husband-and-wife guitarists Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi had something of... More >>

Geto Boys Fine Line Music Cafe : 8:00 p.m. June 23
It's impossible to have a deep interest in hip-hop and not reckon with the Geto Boys. There's no better act to trace hip-hop's lineage, as they go from Southern rap pioneers with Grip It! On That Other Level, to coast-to-coast superstars after We Can't Be Stopped, and influential icons by the... More >>
Minneapolis (Downtown)	Hip-Hop

Mount Moriah 7th St. Entry : 8:00 p.m. June 23
North Carolina trio Mount Moriah specialize in wide-ranging and deeply moving Americana. Band lynchpin Heather McEntire's spine-tingling voice sounds more than a bit like Emmylou Harris, but her backing band is stunning enough on their Merge Records debut, Miracle Temple, to confidently command...

Bayport BBQ Deep Blues Fest Bayport BBQ : 4:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. every Fri., Sat., Sun. from June 21 until June 23
The big news from Bayport is not only the imminent opening of the sixth Deep Blues Festival, but also the startling announcement from festival founder Chris Johnson that this will be the final event in Minnesota. Johnson said last week he'll relocate the 2014 festival to Mississippi —... More >>

Dr. Mambo's Combo Bunker's Music Bar & Grill : 9:30 p.m. every Mon., Sun.
1987 was a notable year for Minnesota: the Twins won the World Series, Prince released one of his best albums in Sign 'O' the Times, and St. Louis Park's own Coen Brothers released their first great comedy Raising Arizona. 1987 was also the year that Dr. Mambo's Combo was formed, and it just so...

Macy Gray & David Murray Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant : 7:00 p.m. every Mon., Sun. from June 23 until June 24
On his latest project, saxophone colossus David Murray is touring with his new Infinity Quartet and singular soul singer Macy Gray. Infinity's just-released Be My Monster Love finds Murray his usual brilliant self on tenor, his rich, muscular tone dancing from deeply lyrical swing and... More >>

Cory Wong Quartet Artists' Quarter : 7:00 p.m. every Tue.
Usually when someone's referred to as one of the best-kept secrets in town, it's an aspiring journeyman or a niche-genre artist that's flying under the radar. But as the weekly resident of one of St. Paul's premier clubs, Cory Wong doesn't quite fit under either category -- the jazz-and-more... More >>
St. Paul (Downtown)	Jazz

Cornbread Harris Loring Pasta Bar : 6:00 p.m. every Fri.
You might've heard of his son -- a man named Jimmy who teamed up with another man named Terry, the rest being R&B history -- but Cornbread Harris is a Twin Cities legend in his own right. Harris is a WWII vet who joined Augie Garcia to record the area's first rock'n'roll record (1955's "Hi Yo... More >>
University	R&B, Jazz

Transmission Clubhouse Jager : 10:00 p.m. every Wed.
"Retro" is a tricky niche to slot a dance night into. Usually you've got to find yourself an era and a genre, hew towards the hits, and maybe garnish it with an outsized wink, a double-pistol-point and a smirking acknowledgement that you think the past is, well, kinda goofy. But Transmission... More >>

International Reggae All-Stars Bunker's Music Bar & Grill : 9:00 p.m. every Tue.
Make all the jokes you want about the climate differences between Kingston and Minneapolis, but the cultural ones aren't as hard to reconcile. The aptly dubbed Lynval "Golden Voice" Jackson and his band have been a welcome and frequent presence in Twin Cities clubs for years now, and they're... More >>
Minneapolis (Downtown)	Reggae

Nallo Memory Lanes : 10:00 p.m. June 21
The past couple of years have seen plenty of changes for the south Minneapolis four-piece Nallo. It was in 2011 that Lee first met Ranallo, who was playing a solo set at the Fine Line, and offered to play drums for him. Ranallo had already been playing around town for a while under the Nallo...

Bad Bad Hats Kitty Cat Klub : June 22
The Bad Bad Hats' lead singer Kerry Alexander has voice like cotton candy: light and airy, imperfectly shaped, and filled with sweet pockets of sugar. The only thing more whimsical than her voice is her songwriting, which bounces cheerfully through songs about broken hearts and loneliness as a... More >>

Bethany Larson & the Bee's Knees Icehouse : 11:00 p.m. June 22
For most people, heartbreak leads only toward paralysis, marathon cushion-cradling crying sessions, or, at best, an uptick in unproductive activities like binge drinking and mucho Xbox-ing. For Bethany Larson, it birthed a musical career. Much like her promising debut EP from 2009, Larson's... More >>

The Bungalow The Record Room : 10:00 p.m. every Thu.
Friday night gets all the love, Wednesday night has its nudge-wink "hump day" cachet and everyone hates Mondays so much that there's no choice but to go out and wash that start-of-the-week ennui away. But what about Thursday, the day of the week where people are most likely to put... More >>

Open Blues Jam with Moses Oakland Famous Dave's BBQ & Blues Uptown : 8:00 p.m. every Sun.
Moses Oakland relocated from the Bay Area to the Twin Cities back in 1987, and since then -- well, it'd probably be easier and less space-consuming to list all the venues he hasn't played and the legends he hasn't gigged with. A blues, soul and jazz aficionado well-versed in a wide array of... More >>
