Best of the Week: St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Arboretum

On St. Paul and the Broken Bones' first two albums, Paul Janeway sounded like a graduate of the Otis Redding School of Southern Soul Singing. In concert, he seems to have gone to school on James Brown. Janeway and his Alabama band are dropping their third full length, "Young Sick Camellia," in September. Produced by Jack Splash (Solange, Mayer Hawthorne, Alicia Keys), it features the new single "Apollo," a slice of Space Age soul certain to send Janeway soaring in concert.Jon Bream

One of the great Texas songwriters, Ray Wylie Hubbard is a terrific storyteller in conversation and song. Although best known for penning the Jerry Jeff Walker hit "Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother," the 71-year-old regularly cranks out Americana gems. He spins compelling tales of God, the devil and the Twin Cities' own blues legends Koerner, Ray & Glover on 2017's overlooked album "Tell The Devil That I'm Getting There as Fast as I Can" (with guests Lucinda Williams, Eric Church and Patty Griffin).

They might look like giant pieces of folded paper, but everything in the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum's "Origami in the Garden" exhibition was carefully cast in metal by artists Kevin and Jennifer Box. Don't miss "Master Peace," a tower of 500 cranes that grows smaller as it reaches into the sky, appearing as a reflection in an adjacent pool. There's also an indoor companion show at the Oswald Visitor Center, featuring the Boxes' work with origami masters.

Greta Oglesby and Regina Marie Williams are two of the Twin Cities' finest actresses who sing. Each has the vocal chops and stage panache to succeed as a singer, but they have chosen the slightly more predictable vehicle of theater. Williams has showcased her voice, especially her Nina Simone repertoire, in clubs from time to time, but this is a rare club appearance for Oglesby, a formidable but underappreciated soul-gospel voice.

Minnesota's Flying Foot Forum revives "French Twist," its gaudy celebration of Gallic froufrou and frivolity in honor of the dance troupe's 25th anniversary. Through tap and hambone, it tells stories of Parisian life, with company founder Joe Chvala playing a pompous royal and a club owner, and with his hard-hoofing company lending the charm to this over-the-top homage to French culture.
