5. Mason Jennings

Dec. 3, First Avenue

Nearly 20 years into his career, Mason Jennings quietly released his 13th album Wild Dark Metal in March of 2016. The lone booked gig for the album was a free show at Social Cider Werks as a part of Oake & Riley in the Afternoon in September. He didn't reappear until a proper First Avenue gig in December, ahead of which Jennings told the Star Tribune that the future of his music career is uncertain. The circumstances made this particular mainroom show especially significant for longtime adoring fans.

4. Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins: Rabbit Fur Coat 10th Anniversary

Sept. 6, State Theatre

After a successful 2014 with her solo effort The Voyager that lasted well into the following year, Jenny Lewis went back on the road in 2016 for a short stint of Rabbit Fur Coat 10th anniversary shows. Local Current blogger Jay Gabler on the tour's opening show in Minneapolis:

The trio, backed by a tight four-piece band, played Rabbit Fur Coat from beginning to end – serving as a reminder of just how weird and wonderful a release that is. The rockers are weighed down by sorrow, and the mournful acoustic numbers are buoyed by hope and Lewis's sharp wit. Maybe the biggest revelation was the album's title track; a solo number that plays as a breezy sing-song for Lewis on the album took on new gravity in Lewis's measured live performance, with themes of class and gender sharply accentuated.

3. Iggy Pop

April 4, Northrop

Iggy Pop returned in 2016 with Post Pop Depression with an all-star backing band including Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and Matt Helders of Arctic Monkeys, whom he brought on tour. Local Current college contributor Hannah Hron on Pop honoring his past while also looking forward:

When Iggy and the band returned for a massive eight-song encore, they included the only number not from either 1977 or 2016, 1984's title song for the soundtrack to Repo Man. Pop reigned master of chaos, actually throwing a microphone stand across stage when he wasn't braving out into the crowd. "I'd like to stay in Minnesota for the rest of my days!" He exclaimed towards the end, smiling out towards the suburban punks dancing in the nosebleeds. From the screams of the crowd -- young and old, male and female – it's obvious Minnesota wouldn't mind adopting punk's foremost weirdo. If this truly is Iggy's last hurrah, he stuck the landing perfectly.

2. Rock the Garden

June 18, Boom Island

Ah, you shouldn't have! Hosted by The Current and Walker Art Center, the one-day festival ventured to the other side of the river (the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden was under construction, but will be ready for the 2017 date) featured performances by Chance The Rapper, the Flaming Lips, Polica, Hippo Campus and more. Local Current blogger Cecilia Johnson on GRRRL PRTY's last show ever:

Even though I spent the day at a music festival, shivers hit me hardest when GRRRL PRTY's set cut to a conversation break. Between "Nightwatch" and "Can I Live," Manchita got real about mental health, asking audience members to help "end the stigma" about the mental health conditions she says affect one in four people. She had a mental health crisis recently, she shared, but Abbott Northwestern took great care of her. Asking the crowd to donate to Northwestern via her webpage, Manchita offered hopeful words to anyone who might need them: "There is help. I promise."

1. Festival Palomino

Sept. 17, Hall's Island

The third annual Festival Palomino again proved that Minnesota musicians are some of the finest folks to host, plan and execute their own music festivals. Curated by Trampled By Turtles, the three-stage, one-day festival (moved from Canterbury Park to Hall's Island due to flooding) featured performances by Andrew Bird, Margaret Glaspy, Frankie Lee and more. Local Current college contributor Lillian Speakman on Festival Palomino's increasingly diverse lineup:

Besides the most obvious difference of a change in location -- from Canterbury Park to Hall's Island -- this year also saw the addition of a third stage. With three stages' worth of performances, nearly twice the number of performers from each of the previous two years, there was hardly a moment when music wasn't playing. The acts at this year's festival also varied from the previous two years' folk and bluegrass focus. This year, Palomino boasted a much more rock-heavy lineup, creating a more inclusive Americana sound.
