Best of the week: Jenny Lewis, Monarch Festival, Sammy Hagar, more

After winding down the tour behind her best-received solo album, "The Voyageur," indie-rock hero Jenny Lewis is going straight into another tour to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her solo debut, "Rabbit Fur Coat." The record launched Lewis out of her old band, Rilo Kiley, with a twangier flavor and a batch of songs that still sprinkle her live shows, including "Rise Up With Fists," "Happy" and "You Are What You Love." Minneapolis is the tour kickoff.

His latest band is Sammy Hagar and the Circle, featuring the super-rhythm section of drummer Jason Bonham (son of Led Zeppelin's John) and bassist Michael Anthony (of Van Halen). The king of Cabo Wabo knows how to rock a beach, which is what the fourth annual Wayzata Beach Bash is all about. Part of James J. Hill Days, this rock-in-the-sand soiree will also feature Don Felder, the other Don in the Eagles, the guitar guy who co-wrote "Hotel California."

After cutting his teeth in Greenwich Village folk clubs with Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, Jose Feliciano became famous for his hit interpretation of the Doors' "Light My Fire" and "The Star-Spangled Banner," recast with a slow, Latin jazz reading. The latter, performed at a 1968 World Series game, caused a stir, but he still won the Grammy for best new artist. There is nothing controversial about his 1970 hit "Feliz Navidad," which has become a holiday perennial.

Mu Performing Arts kicks off its 25th anniversary with "The Two Kids That Blow Sh*t Up," Carla Ching's wry, somewhat sardonic romantic comedy about a boy and a girl who meet at age 10 when their parents are having an affair.

Vivaldi, Messiaen, Respighi. Many composers have referenced birdsong in their music. Now add to that list Victor Zupanc, whose settings of Minnesota author Kevin Kling's poems about birds — woodpeckers, Canada geese and hawks, among them — have been recorded by St. Paul new-music collective Zeitgeist. Three performances of "For the Birds" mark the project's CD launch, with Kling himself narrating.

7:30 p.m. Thu.-Fri., 1 p.m. Sat., Studio Z, St. Paul. $10-$15, zeitgeistnewmusic.org

For its 10th season show "A Wave of Two Sides," Crash Dance Productions takes a magnifying glass to the choices we make over the course of our lives — and how some choices have a big impact, whether we know it or not. Crash Dance will hold a workshop Saturday to teach an excerpt of its performance to youth and preteen dancers.

Hoping to prove that their contentious split from "All the Small Things"-singing bandmate Tom DeLonge was minor, bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker are keeping Blink-182 alive and juvenile. Hoppus is sharing vocal duties with new guitarist Matt Skiba of the Alkaline Trio. Their debut as the revamped Blink-182, "California," has gotten a favorable reception, but are the poppy hooks sharp enough to still pull in an arena-sized crowd?

7 p.m. Thu., Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul. $18.20-$77.50, ticketmaster.com.
