THE DESERT ROSE BAND
7 p.m. Mon.-Tue. • Dakota Jazz Club • $45
After a 15-year hiatus, the Desert Rose Band reunited in 2008, plying Americana music with elan. Actually, when Desert Rose leader Chris Hillman first started playing this kind of music with the Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers it was known as country-rock. With Desert Rose, he has some fine pickers and singers including Herb Pedersen and John Jorgensen.JON BREAM
THE HAPPY TOGETHER TOUR
8 p.m. • State Fair grandstand • $18
The Turtles were unexpectedly wonderful last year at the grandstand. Their talents will offset whatever their Happy Together Tour mates -- '60s stars Gary Puckett, Micky Dolenz, the Grass Roots and the Buckinghams -- are missing.J.B.
