After spending much of the year launching his synth-pop duo Heart Bones, Sean Tillmann is back to Har Mar Superstarring at year’s end. He and his tight soul-groove band are working up some seasonal tunes alongside their usual favorites for two holiday shows that will push aside the fine dining tables for an open dance floor, all to benefit One Heartland youth camp and services. (10 p.m. Fri. & Sat., $35.)
In the 1980s heyday of the Minneapolis Sound, he was the best male soul singer in town. Now living in Manchester, England (home to the Smiths, Simply Red and a famous soccer club), he has appeared on such British TV shows as “Wife Swap” and “Celebrity Big Brother.” He returns to celebrate the season, with yule material from his 1988 LP “My Gift to You” plus such R&B hits as “Fake” and “If You Were Here Tonight” and the brand-new single “Think of Who Loves You,” recorded at Creation Audio in Minneapolis. O’Neal will be accompanied by various Twin Cities musicians including Mario Dawson and Art Haynes. (7 & 9 p.m. Wed.-Thu., $35-$50)
