BELLA MADRE FESTIVAL Friday-next Sunday: Clearly not a national-scale affair like Minnesota's biggest hippie rockathon, the 10,000 Lakes Festival, this small but adventurous three-day jam bash makes up for its lack of big-name headliners with a familial vibe (carried over from its predecessor, the Big Wu Family Reunions) and its proximity to the Twin Cities (about 90 minutes south of town). The third annual lineup is loaded with acts from San Francisco's hazy scene, including rootsy jammers Tea Leaf Green (pictured), Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann (partnering with swamp-rocking Texan Rastafarian Papa Mali), DJ/musician/producer Bassnectar and quirky but truly funky indie-rap hero Del the Funky Homosapien. Minnesota groups range from twangy favorites Pert Near Sandstone and the White Iron Band to hip-hop stalwarts Heiruspecs and Dessa, to the usual psychedelic pack, including the Big Wu, God Johnson, Pleasure Pause and the Feelin. (Fri.-next Sun. $95 advance, $120 at gate. Harmony Park, Geneva, Minn. www.bellamusicfest.com.)
