Locally schooled Brazilian jazz vocalist Luciana Souza (pictured) hits one of her alma maters at the Berklee Performance Center on Friday behind August release The Book of Longing, where she set her poems (as well as works from Leonard Cohen to Emily Dickinson) to music. But she’s not longing for long, having joined jazz fusion group the Yellowjackets for the new Raising Our Voice, a reflection of our current socio-political climate. Expect Souza to showcase songs from both albums at Berklee, where she’ll join the Yellowjackets for the second half of the concert.

Other Friday music options include pop-classical crossover star Josh Groban with Idina Menzel at TD Garden, bluegrassy jammers the Yonder Mountain String Band at the Paradise Rock Club and New Bedford blues guitar prodigy Quinn Sullivan, a longtime protege of Buddy Guy who’s rocking his own band now at age 19!

Saturday brings Elvis Costello and the Imposters (including keyboardist Steve Nieve and drummer Pete Thomas from his old Attractions) to the Boch Center Wang Theatre, mixing Attractions-era favorites with songs from the group’s stylish new Look Now. Meanwhile, former teen group Hanson continues to display its maturity by adding orchestral elements at the Orpheum Theatre. On the same night, the Chris Robinson Band jams out at the Paradise, the Doobie Brothers (still co-fronted by Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons) rock down the highway to Lynn Memorial Auditorium) and the Nervous Eaters and Unnatural Axe perform live after a screening of “Boys From Nowhere: the Story of Boston’s Garage-Punk Uprising,” a documentary that revolves around scene birthplace the Rathskeller (the Rat), at the Cabot in Beverly. And Sunday brings troubadour the Tallest Man on Earth to Berklee and the band Tennis to the Sinclair.
