The Vollrath Tavern hosts an eclectic collection of indie rock in September, including Sleeping in The Aviary, Amo Joy, Icarus Himself, and Grandpal Jookabox on September 5th, The Dockers and Applecore on September 24th (good for fans of loud punk music) and Chicago rocker Detholz! on September 25th.

Big Car Gallery brings together musicians from Tonos Triad, Shiny Black Shirt and Mana2 to create a spontaneous, live soundtrack to the classic silent film version of "Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde" on October 28th. It's a free show, just in time for Halloween. Find out more at bigcar.org.

You can always find great acoustic music at Deano's Vino every weekend, and Maria's Pizza features jazz on Friday and Saturday nights. Finally, don't forget swing nights at the Fountain Square Theater every second and fourth Friday nights.
