Los Lonely Boys
This year's Music in the Zoo series kicks off with a perennial act. The three Garza brothers from San Angelo, Texas, burst onto the scene in 2004 with the adult-contemporary hit "Heaven." But Los Lonely Boys don't dwell on the serene mellowness of that Grammy-winning triumph. Like ZZ Top, that other little blues-rock power trio from Texas, LLB mixes cool showmanship and hot guitar licks in concert. Making the zoo opener doubly appealing is Ozomatli, the vibrant Los Angeles ensemble whose mostly Spanish 2017 album "Nonstop: Mexico to Jamaica" has a subtle reggae vibe thanks to producers Sly and Robbie. (7:30 p.m. Sat., Minnesota Zoo, Apple Valley, $49-$61.50, etix.com)Jon Bream
Parker Millsap
This rootsy but feisty Oklahoma rocker has gradually built up fans and critical accolades over the past half-decade through steady touring alongside the likes of pal Jason Isbell. Just turning 25, he seems poised for a breakthrough with his fourth album, "Other Arrangements," offering cool traces of everyone from Creedence to Nick Lowe and the Southern-rock oomph that drives his live shows. (8 p.m. Sun., Turf Club, 1601 University Av. W., St. Paul, $16, eTix.com.)
