Burna Boy

After working on Drake's More Life last year, Nigerian singer Burna Boy broke out beyond his regional fan base and onto an international stage.

Janelle Monae

janelle_monae

Janelle Monae has always presented herself as an R&B android, but her new album, Dirty Computer, is a fleshier affair, in terms of both the more personal subject matter and, well, did you see the video with the vagina pants? McMenamins Edgefield, 2126 SW Halsey St., Troutdale, mcmenamins.com/edgefield. 6:30 pm. Sold out. All ages.

After a weekend of camping, listening to live music, and drinking beer from Oregon's top breweries in an 80-acre botanical garden, you'll probably leave with more than a few stories that start with "One time, at Brew Camp…" The Oregon Garden, 879 W Main St., Silverton, brewcampfest.com. $125-$300.

Sunflower Bean

The Brooklyn band's new album, Twentytwo in Blue, is about the experience of being 22, but with boppy indie pop that's much more Alvvays-meets-Fleetwood Mac than Taylor Swift. Lola's Room at the Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside St., mcmenamins.com/crystal-ballroom/lolas-room. 7 pm. $12. All ages.

Milk

Portland Pickles

(Hilary Sander)
