Maya Hawke
She has famous Hollywood parents and is on a TV show that the kids all love, so chances are slim this 24-year-old actress' side career as a singer will be taken too seriously. However, it sounds like more than just a passing fad on her second album, "Moss," filled with delicate, Phoebe Bridgers-style folk strummers and wry, Rufus Wainwright-ian balladry. The final show on the "Stranger Things" star's first headlining tour sold out ultra-fast and features indie-pop trio BB Wisely as openers. (7 p.m. Sun., Fine Line, 318 1st Av.

CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER
Shemekia Copeland
Right out of high school in New Jersey, the daughter of the late blues guitarist Johnny Copeland established herself as a force to be reckoned with. Copeland, now 43, is such a powerhouse singer (with shades of Aretha Franklin) that she's been nominated for instrumentalist of the year for vocals in this year's Blues Music Awards. She's also vying for album of the year for 2022's "Done Come Too Far" and song of the year for "Too Far to Be Gone." Her 11th album, "Done Come Too Far" is another potent, well-rounded effort, with a taste of Chicago blues, folk blues, blues rock, soul gospel, zydeco and social commentary, notably on "The Dolls Are Sleeping," about child abuse.

JON BREAM
'Bakersfield Mist'
Inspired by a true story, this comedy has two characters, played by Jen Maren and John Middleton. It's about a woman who's about to trash a piece of junk when she realizes it might be a Jackson Pollock masterpiece worth millions and the man who comes to her trailer to figure out if it's legit. (7:30 p.m. Wed.-Sat., 3 p.m. Sun., ends April 2, 550 Vandalia St., St. Paul, $32, 888-718-4253, gremlintheatre.org.)
