Music for water

Wild Waters Music Fest has a who’s who of Minnesota bands — a lineup of musicians with an affinity for the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness: longtime hip-hop team Atmosphere, Doomtree, a collective of rappers and DJs, orchestral pop band Cloud Cult, experimentalists Low, Jeremy Messersmith and his earnest good cheer, rapper Dem Atlas, DJ Keezy, The Lioness and Native American rockers War Bonnet. The concert is an event to bring awareness to the anti- sulfide-ore copper mining in the Boundary Waters campaign. Part of the ticket proceeds go to Northeastern Minnesotans for Wilderness.

Wild Waters Music Fest is at 4:30 p.m. today at Bayfront Festival Park. Tickets: $33 at Ticketmaster outlets including ticketmaster.com and the DECC box office

Youth gone wild

James Dean is the James Dean-iest as a suburban teen with a wild-side and some frustrations in his home life. While at the police station, he was drunk, he meets Judy (played by Natalie Wood) and doesn’t quite wow her until later.

Meanwhile, the teens navigate sticky home situations and publicly make bad decisions. “Rebel Without a Cause,” this month’s pick in the NorShor Theatre’s Classic Film Series, is a mid-1950s movie that was released after the award-winning actor died in a car accident. Stick around after the movie for a discussion with Jody Kujawa, Justin Peck and Jason Scorich.

“Rebel Without a Cause” plays at 7 p.m. Aug. 18 at the NorShor Theatre, 211 E. Superior St. Tickets: $12 at norshortheatre.com.
