Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats

Purveyors of one of the all-time great drinking songs in "S.O.B.," these Colorado musicmakers have expanded their Americana palette on this year's "Tearing at the Seams" album.

This is soulful Americana music made for the concert stage. Israel Nash opens. (8 p.m. Sun., Palace Theatre, St. Paul, sold out.)

Red Stag Supperclub Block Party

What has long been one of the best of the eclectic, free mini-music-fests in town is also now one of the more adventurous beer events. This year's music lineup includes (in order) rowdy sibling rockers the Shackletons, yacht-rock tribute act the Lonesome Losers, Monica LaPlante of "Hope You're Alone" rotation on the Current, enduring Americana rockers Romantica (above), funky Afrobeat revivalists Black Market Brass and high-wired Minneapolis rapper Dwynell Roland. The beer side features the so-called In Cahoots collaboration beers by Indeed with Fair State, Bauhaus with Bent Paddle, Schell's with Sociable Cider and more. (2-8 p.m. Sun., Red Stag, 509 1st Av. NE., Mpls., free, redstagsupperclub.com.)
