The Peterson Family
The pandemic won't prevent Minnesota's first family of jazz from staging a fundraiser for their Scholarship in Jazz Studies. Recorded last week at IPR College, the streaming concert features the Petersons — Linda, Billy, Patty, Ricky, Paul and Jason — plus special guests Oleta Adams, Dave Koz, Donny Osmond, David Sanborn and Ben Sidran. The fundraiser for the scholarship — started in 2013 in memory of matriarch Jeanne Arland Peterson — includes an auction for such items as singing the national anthem with the Petersons at a St. Paul Saints game. (7:30 p.m. Fri. $20, petersonfamilymusic.com/benefit.) Jon Bream
Lake Street Story Circles
Friday-Saturday: Over the summer, Pangea World Theater hosted a series of "Story Circles" as a way to connect artists to community members in a time of great change in the Twin Cities. At different locations in Minneapolis and grounded around Lake Street, the artists created songs, plays, poems, images and installations. This weekend, 10 artists will share what resulted from that project, curated by Ellen Marie Hinchcliffe and Pangea. Each night includes an artist talk and a music video by the Muatas. (7:30 p.m. Fri. & Sat. Free, pangeaworldtheater.org.) Sheila Regan
Hippo Campus
Thursday: After postponing another action-packed year of gigs that was to include the Basilica Block Party, the jangly pop-rockers splintered off into a mishmash of individual projects, including singer Jake Luppen's eponymous solo LP as Lupin and guitarist Nathan Stocker's BrotherKenzie recordings. Proof that they're still very much a band, they're returning to First Avenue for two virtually ticketed shows that will be livestreamed and archived for 72 hours, each with very different set lists and promised new tunes. The first went up at 8 p.m. Oct. 15, and the other posts will be at 8 p.m. Oct 22. ($15, noonchorus.com/hippo-campus). Chris Riemenschneider
