This is ridiculous. There are so many shows going on, even I’m playing on this first official weekend of fall. So let’s dive in. Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and his drummer son Spencer bond as Tweedy at the Berklee Performance Center on Friday in support of their rich if sprawling and somewhat downbeat new album Sukierae. Expect Jeff Tweedy to also perform some Wilco chestnuts, either solo or with the band. Later that night, rap upstart Dutch ReBelle teams with STL GLD (the MC/producer combo of Moe Pope & the Architype) celebrates the release of her new album ReBelle Diaries. Here’s ReBelle live and here’s a jump to our Improper cover story from the August music issue. And the spunky, charismatic Shovels & Rope hits Royale for Friday and Saturday shows. Here’s that Americana duo in concert and here’s a jump to my recent interview. And there’s another stellar Friday Club d’Elf summit at the Lizard Lounge with guitarist Dave Tronzo and winds player Ned Rothenberg.

Another hearty weekend for the Pipeline! at 25 presents: 50 Years of Boston Rock. About halfway through the 13-night roundup of historic local band reunions, the toast to WMBR’s 25^th anniversary continues at Arlington’s Regent Theatre on Friday with Dumptruck and members of Morphine and Big Dipper, and on Saturday with mid-60s band the Remains (best known for opening the Beatles’ last tour), Cardinal and the Downbeat 5. Sunday shifts to the Brighton Music Hall for one of the series’ most divergent lineups with Anastasia Screamed, the Flies, Bentmen (the theatrical tribalists that I rejoin on percussion), art-rockers Men & Volts, the Nervous Eaters and a Straw Dogs/FU’s punk sandwich. Here’s the full rundown with set times for the Pipeline! celebration. There’s also a great show for a great cause on Saturday with the first installment of Crash Safely 2014, a benefit for the National MS Society at Jamaica Plain’s Midway Café that sports Watts, Gene Dante & the Future Starlets, The I Want You (another one of my August local band picks) and members of the Figgs. Here’s more on that series.

Don’t wait until nighttime. The South End comes alive in beautiful Saturday afternoon weather with Berklee’s BeanTown Jazz Festival’s main event: a block party along Columbus Avenue with stages featuring glamorous percussionist Sheila E, hip fusionists Snarky Puppy (who also play the Berklee Performance Center on Sunday), trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, singer Dionne Farris with the Russell Gunn Quartet, saxophonist Miguel Zenon and Screaming Headless Torsos, featuring innovative guitarist Dave Fiuczynski. Here’s the complete BeanTown Jazz schedule, including Friday and Saturday shows at Scullers Jazz Club with Oleta Adams. Over in Somerville’s Union Square, Bull McCabe’s also holds its Roots to Reggae Outdoor Music Fest from 2-11 p.m. on Saturday, highlighted by Christian McNeill & Sea Monsters (with guest singer/guitarist Tim Gearan) and Dub Apocalypse. And synth-pop fans should flock to House of Blues on Saturday night for a dance party with ’80s born English duo Erasure, featuring Andy Bell and Vince Clarke, celebrating their to-form new album The Violet Flame.

Sunday doesn’t slow down with additional shows including Pink Martini’s sophisticated cocktail (adding the Von Trapps, singing great-grandchildren of the “Sound of Music” family) at Symphony Hall, the rambunctious Black Lips at the Paradise Rock Club, and a rare reunion visit from Bob Geldof’s Boomtown Rats at Royale. With an expected hangover from this leaf-rattling weekend, I won’t like Monday either.
