Vermont’s King Tuff is hitting Saint Paul’s Turf Club Tuesday, and I might have missed this show were it not for a recommendation from an old friend, topping this edition of MN Weekly Roundup.

King Tuff hits that psych-folk blend that I love — and little did I know that he leads the stoner rock band Witch and has collaborated with Ty Segall.

But we have options every night this week around the state, including a pair of shows I highly recommend in Duluth — LazyLightning420 tonight at Bent Paddle and Saltydog and Lanue at Sacred Heart Friday.

But don’t sleep on the residencies we have including Only Every Monday, L.A.’s Monday Nights, International Reggae All Stars, the Old Town Tuesday Night Jam, TWINE, the Cherry Pit Jam, WE Collective, Jaybee and The Routine, Shotgun Ragtime Band and last but not least Dr. Mambo’s Combo.

I’ll also mention Northeast Minneapolis’ Art-A-Whirl this coming weekend, with official and related music such as Jon Sullivan Band and Buffalo Galaxy, among many others.

Also included this week are Caution, Defend Our Friends, an “Ice Out” protest LP release concert including Teague Alexy and others at Turf Club, Sam Prekop and John McEntire, EFMI, Bakkwooddrift, NUR-D, Room3, Demitrious Rallis and Brian “Snowman” Powers, Chase and Ovation, Gramma’s Boyfriend, Papa Mbye, Kiss the Tiger and KG4.
