The Indy Hostel
Not only a great place to stay but home of some fine, fine shows. Very much like a house concert.

Indy Folk Series
Since its memorable launch soon after the attacks of September 2001, the Indy Folk Series has presented the best in local, regional and national talent in a uniquely suitable setting. With first-rate sound and an ambience reminiscent of folk clubs of the 1960s, acoustic artists of all genres perform at their best—and audiences are delighted. 

Redbud Tree House Concert Series 
Monthly house concert series hosted by Cyndi Wagner, VERY cool shows, hosted by a VERY cool friend to the local music world!

Lazy Daze Coffeeshop
I've always said Lazy Daze is the coziest little room in town. The music room is just small enough to really connect with the artist, the coffee is outstanding & with The Bread Ladies next door you'll never go hungry.  

Kessler House Concert Series
Located on the near northwest side of Indianapolis, the Kessler House Concerts Series was designed to bring national touring musicians to Indianapolis in an intimate living room concert setting.

CICSA Christian Songwriters-in-the-Round
Singer/Songwriters share their original works, each taking turns in a café family setting. Wonderful evening of relaxing and listening to really good songwriters sharing their gifts!
