Music Life Is Long and So Is Your Complete Concert Calendar: Nov. 10-16 Pretty much all the music you can catch in the Twin Cities this week. By Keith Harris 11:51 AM CST on November 10, 2026 Add Racket to Google How are those shorter days/seasonal depressive spells treatin' ya? At least we still got music. Tuesday, November 10 DJ Cam Jones @ Acadia Eiko Ishibashi, Kenneth Gregory @ Berlin — In town to perform her score for Ryusuke Hamaguchi's Gift at the Walker (last Saturday, and I missed it, like an idiot), Ishibashi is sticking around to perform her dreamy yet substantial compositions at Berlin. Duluth pianist Kenneth Gregory opens. —Keith Harris Greatest Jam on Earth @ Blues Saloon International Reggae Allstars @ Bunker’s Capri Big Band @ Capri Great Lake Swimmers @ Cedar Cultural Center Alison Brown @ Dakota St. Dominic’s Trio @ Driftwood Char Bar Karaoke with On Call Entertainment @ Eagles 34 Tiny Tuesdays @ Eagles 34 AJ McLean of Backstreet Boys presents Alexander James @ First Avenue Bad Weather, Sylvia May & the Maydays, Ben Vogel, Weed Smoking Girlfriend @ Green Room Calvin Caron @ Indeed Brewing Cedar Avenue Big Band @ Jazz Central Nova Jazz Orchestra @ Minnesota Music Cafe Popup!

Soul vocalist Muldrow, on the other hand, has dropped five albums since then. They meld exquisitely on their 2026 album together, Electrical Field of Love , which doesn’t so much range between genres as glance off them as it goes about its melodic, textural, rhythmic, and lyrical explorations. Muldrow’s voice occasionally explores pure vocal sounds rather than words, and is as much a part of the gestalt either way—this is a no band + singer album. Guitarist Brandon Ross, bassist (who currently splits his time between Minneapolis and Brooklyn), and drummer J.T. Lewis all play off Muldrow, as vocalist and keyboardist, just as she responds to them. This is Tubman’s first local show since they played Icehouse in 2022. P.S. I finally cracked Gibbs’s book How Black Music Took Over the World , and I’m ready to be challenged. —Keith Harris Smiling Cowboys, Em & the Gems @ Minnesota Music Cafe One Big Quilt (Album Release), Isssy, Flora Moon, Eli Orion, By Will Alone @ Mortimer’s James Ehnes @ Ordway Steve Boltz @ Parkway Theater Distress Tolerance, Shanon, Mystery Meat @ Pilllar Forum Customers Band, the Cockroachers @ Schooner Tavern Pretty Sick, Computerwife @ 7th St Entry Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox @ State Theatre DJ Night @ Terminal Bar Mary Cutrufello @ 331 Club Harold’s House Party on KFAI with Liquor Pigs @ 331 Club Fruition, Gardener @ Turf Club Choir!

Listen to the lyrics of Morning When It Comes and you can tell that the singer-songwriter who either fronts or is Humbird (one can never be sure of such things) wrote and recorded her/their latest album while emerging from some dark times. Yet her homespun pluck is undiminished, thanks in part to capable country-folk support from musicians based in Eau Claire, where Undlin now lives full time. Racket last caught up with Undlin three or four vibe shifts ago, in 2021, when she was showcasing her l
