Best of the Week (Aug. 4-11): Davina & the Vagabonds, Terrace Thursdays at the Walker, Gary Clark Jr., '42nd Street,' more

After four self-released albums, Twin Cities mainstays Davina & the Vagabonds have landed on a label, Red House, for the brand-new "Sugar Drops," a sweet helping of their irresistible horn-fueled, New Orleans-flavored blues-jazz-R&B-pop. With her robust voice, Davina Lozier slays on the island-meets-Big Easy voodoo "Devil Horns," the Tom Waits-ian Irish ballad "Mr. Big Talker," the minimalist pop piano ballad "Deep End" and "Sugar Drops," a slow NOLA blues that should make Adele envious.

What a difference a year has made since Gary Clark Jr.'s sizzling show at Surly last summer. The Texas blues-rocker has released his most varied yet definitive album, "This Land," showing there's a lot more to the Austin native than his genuinely awesome, Stevie Ray Vaughan-like guitar-hero skills. He easily slides from the Prince-influenced slow groover "Pearl Cadillac" to the punk-rocky "Gotta Get Into Something" to the bombastic, racially outraged title track.

The Ordway's modernized "42nd Street" is seemingly set during that part of the Depression when all the kids were into hip-hop. When miniskirts were all the rage. When folks on bread lines started grooving to Stevie Wonder. So the dance styles include tap, but also disco, jitterbug, hip-hop and Bob Fosse-style jazz. The story doesn't make a lick of sense, but the show is an entertaining, even beguiling one.

St. Paul-based musician Chad McAnally is a virtuoso player of the historical Gaelic harp, and leads a Twin Cities Early Music Festival concert exploring music by blind 18th-century harpist Turlough O'Carolan. Widely viewed as Ireland's national composer, O'Carolan mixes jauntiness and melancholy in music of alluring beauty.

On a break from touring with Dead & Company, pop singer-turned-guitar star John Mayer is doing his own freewheeling, two-set shows with no opening act. He's drawing material from throughout his mix-and-match pop-and-blues career (but not always "Your Body Is a Wonderland"). He's throwing in some covers (Tom Petty, Grateful Dead and Prince have been heard), a healthy selection from 2017's "The Search for Everything" and plenty of guitar heroics.
