Cheap Trick
Robin Zander's all right, Rick Nielsen's all right, they just seem a little weird. In a good way. That's been part of the charm of this Rockford, Ill., power-pop foursome since the 1970s. The charismatic Zander still boasts his divinely Lennonesque voice, the cartoonish Nielsen still delivers fast, flashy guitar work. Tom Petersson is steady on bass and Daxx Nielsen, Rick's son, is a solid replacement for the quirky Bun E. Carlos on drums. The Rock Hall of Fame quartet's 2017 album "We're All Alright" rocks harder and faster than usual, and that's all right. (8 p.m. Fri., Mystic Lake Casino Hotel, 2400 Mystic Lake Blvd., Prior Lake. $39-$99, 952-445-9000 or ticketmaster.com.)
JON BREAM
The Revivalists
A rootsy and soulful New Orleans rock ensemble that sonically falls somewhere between Hozier and Nathaniel Rateliff's Night Sweats, the band landed a modest hit in 2015 with "Wish I Knew You" but has made a bigger mark as a live act. The group sounds all the more radio-friendly on its new album, "Take Good Care," and is gearing up for a big April that includes its first "Austin City Limits" TV taping and a choice slot at the New Orleans Jazz Fest. Nashville tunesmith Rayland Baxter opens. (8 p.m. Sat., Palace Theatre, 17 W. 7th Place, St. Paul, $40-$65, 1-800-514-3849 or eTix.com.)
