Rodrigo Amarante
10 p.m. • Bryant-Lake Bowl • all ages • $15-$18
Before Los Pollos Hermanos, the fictionalized chicken joint from "Breaking Bad," there was simply Los Hermanos — the Brazilian alt-rock outfit that earned international acclaim in the late-'90s and early-'00s. Amarante got his start in that band from Rio, which landed a smash single with 1999's "Anna Júlia." He has remained busy with Rough Traded-signed project Little Joy, samba-rock powerhouse Orquestra Imperial and sporadic Hermanos reunions, but found time last year to drop his debut solo album, "Cavalo." On it, the multi-instrumentalist comes across like a South American-tinged Cake at times, but largely opts for sparse, world-weary folk. Big Search opens.Jay Boller
The Lowest Pair
8 p.m. • Cedar Cultural Center • $12-$15
Reminiscent of other acoustic roots couples such as Gillian Welch and David Rawlings or the Original Harmony Creek Dippers, the Lowest Pair boasts ex-Minnesotan banjo picker and singer Palmer T. Lee of Boys N' the Barrels and his bittersweet, down-home-voiced partner Kendl Winter. The couple put out a charmer of a debut last year produced by Trampled by Turtles frontman Dave Simonett, who returned to help helm their more refined, sometimes darker and truly hallowed-sounding second album, "The Sacred Heart Sessions," recorded at Duluth's famed church-turned-studio. Simonett also opens this release party. Chris Riemenschneider
