Twin Cities Jazz Festival: One of the best free live music offerings in town continues through the weekend with ex-Weather Report drummer Eric Kamau Gravatt's band Source Code and clarinet maestro Anat Cohen's Brazilian ensemble Choro Adventuroso on Friday, and then John Coltrane's old pianist McCoy Tyner and fellow keyboard vet Bobby Lyle on Saturday, plus many more acts. (4-10 p.m. Fri., 2-10 p.m. Sat., Mears Park, downtown St. Paul, TwinCitiesJazzFestival.com.)

B.O.B.: The Atlanta rapper of "Nothin' on You" and "Airplanes" fame has gone independent with his new album, "Elements," which still features a platinum cast of guests including Young Thug, T.I. and Usher. Local mixmaster DJ Tiiiiiiiiiip opens. (8 p.m. Fri., Lumber Exchange Events Center, 10 S. 5th St., Mpls., $25-$40)

Jeff Dayton: The Long Lake-reared, Nashville-based guitarist spent 15 years touring with Glen Campbell. Now that his boss has retired due to Alzheimers, Dayton is doing a tribute to the hitmaker behind "Wichita Lineman" and "Rhinestone Cowboy." An underappreciated guitarist, Campbell did studio work with Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, the Monkees and many others before launching his singing career. Dayton will do the guitar justice. He'll be joined by some Nashville cats for this tribute show. (8 p.m. Fri.-Sat. Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, $40-$55.)

Pride in Concert: This year's big rainbow bash in Loring Park features one of the biggest R&B/pop groups of the '90s, En Vogue, whose hits included "Free Your Mind," "Don't Let Go (Love)" and "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)." Two of the heyday members are still in tow, Terry Ellis and Cindy Herron, and they're about to release a new Raphael Siddiq-co-produced, dance-flavored album titled "Electric Cafe." Opening acts include Brian Justin Crum from "America's Got Talent" and England's "I'm Still Hot" singer Luciana. Fireworks follow. (6-10 p.m. Sat., Loring Park, 1382 Willow St S., Mpls., $10, 18 & older, tcpride.com.)

Mason Jennings: Aside from the release of his raw and experimental album "Wild Dark Metal" and his annual First Ave show, the Twin Cities indie-folk favorite kept a decidedly low profile in 2016. But how could he resist a chance to perform under the stars in summer with his shimmering pals the Pines for support? (7:30 p.m. Sat., Minnesota Zoo amphitheater, $41.)

Dale Watson & Asleep at the Wheel: Two mainstays of the Texas country music scene who were always too "traditional" (read: good) for Nashville, they have teamed on tour this summer following the release of "Dale & Ray," a playful album that finds Watson and Wheel leader Ray Benson offering their version of the Willie-and-Merle brotherhood. Their comedic interplay belies their serious nod to old-school twang, with the Wheel still doing the jazzy Bob Wills thing better than anyone, while Lee's Liquor Lounge regular Watson forever evokes the Hag. (7:30 p.m. Sun., Minnesota Zoo amphitheater, Apple Valley, $40, eTix.com.)

King Crimson: The pioneering prog-rock band is back on the road for its 40th anniversary under the ever-creative guidance of guitar legend Robert Fripp with a remade eight-man lineup that includes heyday members Mel Collins (sax) and Tony Levin (bass), new-ish singer/guitarist Jakko Jakszyk and the return of drummer Bill Rieflen, also known from Ministry and latter-day R.E.M. tours. They're picking tunes from various eras and from a new EP, "Heroes," which includes a cover of the David Bowie classic with Fripp's handiwork all over it. This "evening with" billing means two sets, no opener. (7:30 p.m. Mon., State Theatre, 805 Hennepin Av. S. Mpls., $40-$130, Ticketmaster.com.)

Lisa Fischer: A former backup singer for the Rolling Stones, Luther Vandross and Tina Turner, this star of the Oscar-winning documentary "20 Feet From Stardom" is a magical singer. Accompanied by the simpatico group Grand Baton, the ever-versatile Fischer weaves organic, mystical and mesmerizing treatments of songs by the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Amy Grant and others — plus her own Grammy-winning 1991 R&B hit "How Can I Ease the Pain." (7 & 9 p.m. Tue.-Wed. Dakota, $40-$60.)

Moody Blues: Anchored as always by dramatic singer/guitarist Justin Hayward, the British rock vets are back out this summer to mark the 50th anniversary of "Days of Future Passed," the album that featured "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon." (7:30 p.m. Tue., Orpheum Theatre, $75-$155.)

Wailing Souls: Reggae pioneers Winston "Pipe" Matthews and Lloyd "Bread" McDonald and their harmonious ensemble were peers of Bob Marley and the Wailers in late-'60s Kingston, featured prominently on the "Cool Runnings" soundtrack in the -'80s and are still big on the summer festival circuit in 2017. Dred I Dread opens. (8 p.m. Wed., Cedar Cultural Center, $18.)

Leftover Salmon: Colorado's enduring, Cajun-ized, string-picking jam band should be a good start to a new concert series outside Como Park's similarly bayou-flavored lakeside restaurant. (6 p.m. Thu., Como Dockside, 1360 Lexington Pkwy. N., St Paul, $25, ticketfly.com.)
