FRIDAY

Each year, the Northampton Arts Council chooses a theme for bands, asking them to mimic famous groups with names that fit the theme. This year’s theme is “The Elements.” This means performers will take on the personas of artists whose names represent elements of both nature and the weather, like Earth, Wind & Fire, Canned Heat, Arcade Fire, and Muddy Waters, among many others.

For many years the event was named “Transperformance,” but the name was changed three years ago. To donate to the benefit, visit its website.

Liner notes

• Bruno Mars will play two nights at the MassMutual Center, June 10-11.

The 14-time Grammy Award winner has sold more than 200 million singles worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists in history.

Mars’ 64th Annual Grammy win for Record of the Year made him only the second artist in Grammy history to win the category three times, with the other act being Simon and Garfunkel. Additionally, Mars became the first male and third act overall to have at least three top-5 Hot 100 hits

Musicians perform during a past festival at Look Park on Aug. 20, 2019. Previously called “Transperformance,” Performance 33 will return to the Pines Theater on Aug. 22. (DOUG

from each of his first three albums, following only Mariah Carey and Beyoncé.

• The Wallflowers will play the Academy of Music in Northampton on Sept. 26.

Led by Bob Dylan’s son, Jakob, the band has been a sturdy vehicle for Jakob Dylan’s songs for three decades now. Although Dylan has pursued outside projects over the past decade, which meant it took nine years between the group’s last two albums, he knew he’d always return to the band.

“The Wallflowers is much of my life’s work,” Dylan said in a statement. “It’s pretty hard to get a good band name, so if you have one, keep it.”

• Liz Phair will play Roadrunner in Boston on Nov. 21.

Phair will be touring in celebration of the 30th anniversary of her critically acclaimed debut album, “Exile in Guyville,” and will play the album in its entirety, along with other favorites, backed by a full band. The 18-city autumn tour starts on Nov. 7 in El Cajon, California,
