Prairie Fire Lady Choir: The 40-60-member Twin Cities women's choir has performed everywhere from rock clubs to garden parties over the past year but seems at home at the Cedar, where it hosts this annual fall gig to debut original tunes with one local music scene hero — R&B/hip-hop innovator Sarah White in this case — and learn some fun new songs, too, which could be by anyone from Robyn to Bikini Kill. (8 p.m. Fri., Cedar Cultural Center, all ages, $15-$17.)
Wynonna Judd: Even though it's been more than 20 years since she's had a Top 10 country hit, she still remains one of Nashville's most spirited forces and potent voices as evidenced on her 2016 album, the bluesy-rock "Wynonna & the Big Noise," which featured Jason Isbell, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks. Opening is country vet David Lee Murphy, known for "Dust on the Bottle" and the recent "Everything's Gonna Be Alright." (8 p.m. Fri. Treasure Island Casino, $37 and up.)
Alan Parsons Live Project: The Abbey Road Studios engineer for the Beatles and Pink Floyd became a hitmaker with "Eye in the Sky" and the jock jam "Sirius." The prog-rock band didn't really tour in its heyday but now Parsons has hit the concert trail to celebrate the 35th anniversary of "Eye in the Sky." His APP partner, vocalist/songwriter Eric Woolfson, died in 2009. (8 p.m. Fri. State Theatre, $35-$80.)
The Get Up Kids: Kansas City's emo-y, power-poppy late-'90s indie darlings have been performing sporadically since a 2008 reunion run and finally released their first new music in seven years, a return-to-form EP titled "Kicker," with a full album reportedly on its way. (9 p.m. Fri., Turf Club, $25.)
Caroline Rose: The tracksuit-wearing, high-energy pop-rocker is following up her packed Entry show with a second go-round behind her first album for New West Records, "Loner," one of the year's great hidden gems with its buoyant, Farfisa-laden grooves and sharp-witted lyricism, part early Elvis Costello and Luscious Jackson. (9 p.m. Sat., Turf Club, $16-$18.)
Behemoth: Last seen in town opening for Slayer at the Armory, the Polish death-metal band with the ghoulish stage costumes and gorgon-voiced singer is back out on a headlining tour in support of its 11th album, "I Loved You at Your Darkest." Should be fun in a smaller space, if a bit late for Halloween (7:30 p.m. Sat., Cabooze, $30-$35.)
Pert Near Sandstone: Between their familial Blue Ox festival in June and warm Winter String Gathering in January, the hard-clopping, fun-loving Twin Cities bluegrass pickers are squeezing in a plain, old club gig timed to the release of a new live album recorded at the former festival. As if cloggers and banjo solos at First Ave can be considered as a plain, old, regular thing. Kind Country and the Lowest Pair open. (8 p.m. Sat., First Ave, $17-$20.)
LowRay: Minneapolis singer/guitarist Daniel Fowlds of Pill Hill shows off his prowess for Cheap Tricky and Sloan-style power-pop in this new band with drummer James Irving, celebrating the release of their debut album "Friends and Fakers" with a full-tilt lineup including Porcupine, Little Man and the Melismatics' Ryan & Pony. (8 p.m. Sat., Hook & Ladder Theater, $10-$15.)
