Trampled by Turtles at Bayfront
After a string of high-profile opening dates with Zach Bryan and Willie Nelson in recent months, the Duluth-bred acoustic sextet will be the king of its own domain again. The band's almost-annual outdoor concert is always loaded with homecoming sentimentality, being a mile and a half down Superior Street from where its members first performed together at Sir Benedict's in 2003. Yep, that makes this unofficially the band's 20th anniversary party. Maybe an even bigger selling point is having longtime pal Jenny Lewis as the opener, following the release of the Los Angeles Americana-pop queen's excellent new record, "Joy'all." Duluth's own Ross Thorn opens after winning TBT's Palomino grant. (6 p.m. Sat., Bayfront Festival Park, 350 Harbor Drive, Duluth, resale tickets only, axs.com)
CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER
Jelly Roll
He's an unlikely country star. A 300-pound rapper who, like Merle Haggard and Johnny Paycheck, has done time in prison and sings about it. Jelly also sings about weed, booze, addiction, love, church, sin and redemption. At 39, he's put out 17 albums, but he didn't break out until last year's No. 1 country smash "Son of a Sinner," in which he declares he's looking for new ways to get gone. This summer, Jelly dropped the skillfully crafted, country-focused "Whitsitt Chapel," featuring tunes he co-wrote with Miranda Lambert, Hardy, Brantley Gilbert and Ashley McBryde.

JON BREAM
Amythyst Kiah
After stints this year opening for Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit and Josh Ritter, the Tennessee roots-rocker is touring behind her new EP, "Pensive Pop," on which she put her own stamp on tunes by Tori Amos, Joy Division and Green Day. In 2019, Kiah established herself as a voice to be reckoned with on the Grammy-nominated "Black Myself" recorded with the collective known as Our Native Daughters. She reworked the powerful identity anthem as a galvanizing rocker on her 2021 album, "Wary + Strange," an eclectic, sometimes experimental collection that even includes a country-gospel stroll, "Ballad of Lost." (7:30 p.m. Wed., Parkway Theater, 4814 Chicago Av. S., Mpls., $29-$49, theparkwaytheater.com)
