Concerts to see this week: The Hold Steady, Nick Cave, Munson Fest

As May arrives, the next few weeks — before the outdoor concert series and summer festivals — are absolutely packed with splashy concerts. We'll do what we can to help sort things out. Here's what's happening on Twin Cities stages this week. Thursday, May 1, at Walker Art Center The prolific art rock group will have a one-of-a-kind performance at the Walker Art Center, celebrating more than three decades as a group. For this show, they'll play a song from each of their 20 studio albums, includign early albums like The Man, The King, The Girl, their breakthrough records in the early '00s (Apple O', Milk Man, Friend Opportunity), and more recent releases like 2023's Miracle-Level. Thursday, May 1, at Hook and Ladder Cornbread Harris is a true Twin Cities music scene legend. Even just a couple years shy of 100, Harris continues to hold down a weekly residency at Palmer's Bar and play elsewhere around town regularly. He'll celebrate his 98th birthday with a lineup of friends at Hook and Ladder. Sunday, May 4, at The Armory The Australian songwriter has released nearly 20 albums since going "solo" in the '80s. He's a singular voice, evolving repeatedly during his career. Last year's Wild God saw the group step back toward the bombastic with more rock 'n roll songwriting following a couple of ethereal and grief-filled records. Cave, Warren Ellis, and co. will do "an evening with"-style performance at The Armory with no opener and plenty of time to dive bounce around the groups discography. Other shows on the tour have had a solid dose of tracks from Wild God, but left plenty of time for older favorites and even a couple of songs from Grinderman albums (Cave and Ellis' band with a little more hard rock edge). Thursday, May 1, at The Fitzgerald Theater John Munson — a Minnesota musician who has played in groups like Semisonic, Trip Shakespeare, The Twilight Hours, and The New Standards — suffered a stroke in late February. Since then, friends and fans have raised more than $137,000 to support his recovery and medical expenses. This week, a benefit concert, dubbed Munson Fest, will continue that support with a one-night festival-style concert featuring Chan Poling and Steve Roehm of The New Standards, Aby Wolf, Matt Wilson and His Orchestra, The Dust of Suns, Dylan Hicks, and others. Sunday, May 4, at The Fitzgerald Theater The Japanese songwriter and multi-instrumentalist crafts enveloping atmospheres, whether it's folkier ballads or the more expansive sonic experiences that fill Luminescent Creatures, the album she released earlier this year. Aoba says the new record was inspired by sea creatures encountered while diving in the waters of a remote island, and the album feels like a plunge into an ethereal, mysterious new world. Thursday, May 1—Sunday, May 4, at 7th St. Entry, First Avenue, and Fine Line The New York band that was (loosely) born from the demise of the Twin Cities-based Lifter Puller is celebrating the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album, Separation Sunday. It's a four-night run of underplays, starting with a show at 7th St. Entry. That's followed by two nights at First Avenue and a finale at Fine Line. In between, there's a trivia get-together and other celebratory activities. For the many Hold Steady fans around the state, it's a unique chance to see them on a smaller stage just months after singer Craig Finn headlined a solo show at The Fitzgerald on Monday, April 28: Awolnation with Bryce Fox at First Avenue L.S.
