Danny Clinch/Liz Rosenberg Media via AP  FLEETWOOD MAC Reunited, and it feels so good. After more than 15 years without her, the Mac returns with singer-keyboardist Christine McVie in the lineup, which surely means more of her songs (“Everywhere,” “You Make Loving Fun,” “Little Lies”) will filter into the set list. No wonder they’re calling this tour “On With the Show”; it comes to Boston twice. Oct. 10 and Oct. 25, 8 p.m. Tickets: $49.50-$186. TD Garden. 800-745-3000, www.ticketmaster.com  MARKETA IRGLOVA “Muna,” her new record, reverberates with some of the loveliest choral melodies and string arrangements you’ll hear on a pop album this year. It’s Irglova’s second solo effort outside of the Swell Season, her collaboration with Glen Hansard that crystallized with the hit 2007 film “Once.” There’s a glacial beauty swirling on “Muna,” suggesting Joni Mitchell in exile in Iceland, where Irglova now lives. Oct. 11, 9 p.m. Tickets: $22, $20 in advance. The Sinclair, Cambridge. 800-745-3000, www.ticketmaster.com  ROSE COUSINS Of the three songs Cousins covers on her new EP, “Stray Birds,” her rendition of Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got to Do With It” is the unlikely scene stealer. She strips it of sass, boils it down to its essence with voice, acoustic guitar, and pedal steel, and draws out the song’s heartache in startling ways. Talk about a tearjerker. Come hear why this Canadian musician is so beloved around here in the singer-songwriter community. Oct. 11, 8 p.m. Tickets: $20. Club Passim, Cambridge. 617-492-7679, www.clubpassim.com  STEVE GUNN A virtuosic guitarist steeped in the schools of John Fahey and Robbie Basho and a former member of Kurt Vile’s band, Gunn is a wonder to behold on his new album. By turns cosmic and circuitous, “Way Out Weather” ushers Gunn into classic singer-songwriter territory. Harpist Mary Lattimore and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Zeigler, who also make ambient chamber music worth leaning in to savor, will open. Oct. 13, 9:30 p.m. Tickets: $10. Great Scott. 800-745-3000, www.ticketmaster.com  JOLIE HOLLAND She brings her singular, shape-shifting brand of Americana to Lowell as part of the annual Kerouac Literary Festival. Her appearance is billed as "with Andy Warhol's silent films”: She’ll combine her music with the screenings of several of the 500 “screen-test” portraits made by Warhol. Oct. 10, 7 p.m. Free, but reservation required via website. The Luna Theatre, Lowell. 978-656-1828, www.lunalowell.com  PASSIM STAGE AT HARVARD SQUARE OKTOBERFEST Club Passim takes the music outdoors Sunday to participate in the Square's 36th annual Oktoberfest. There's a full afternoon of music on tap, including the offbeat charm of Steve Poltz and yet another quietly fantastic Canadian, Maritime singer-songwriter Catherine MacLellan. Oct. 12, noon-6 p.m. Free. Harvard Square (intersection of Brattle and Church streets), Cambridge. 617-492-7679, www.clubpassim.com  DOUG SEEGERS The story of this one-time Nashville street musician is remarkable: years of homelessness and substance abuse, a fortuitous introduction to a Swedish country singer that led to stardom over there, and now, stateside, at 62, a national tour and release of a debut album that offers marvelous, unvarnished country music. Oct. 12, 8 p.m. Tickets: $15. Johnny D's, Somerville. 617-776-2004, www.johnnyds.com  YUNA This understated Malaysian singer, who adds a subtle tincture of native musical elements to her blend of indie pop, folk, and contemporary R&B, has enjoyed somewhat of a meteoric global rise, capped by the release of her Verve Records debut, “Nocturnal.” Oct. 14, 8 p.m. Tickets: $18. Paradise Rock Club. 617-876-4275, www.worldmusic.org  PIERRE HUREL TRIO The locally based, Paris-born pianist and composer possesses an impressionistic and poetic touch on the keys, comparable to but not imitative of the likes of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett. His trio has been called, in these pages, “Boston’s most sensitive working group.” Oct. 9, 8 p.m. Tickets: $25. Scullers. 866-777-8932, www.scullersjazz.com  CASSANDRE MCKINLEY The soulful vocalist, a Boston native, incorporates influences from a broad range of jazz, R&B, and pop sources.

Scullers. 866-777-8932, www.scullersjazz.com  SUGAR RAY & THE BLUETONES With the leader’s tremendous harmonica and vocals and guitarist “Monster” Mike Welch to the fore, the Bluetones are consistently among the finest bands around, whether playing Chicago, Kansas City, Texas, or Louisiana-style blues.
