In Indianapolis music this weekend, there are a number of interesting Indianapolis bands gracing the stages of countless Indianapolis music venues across the Circle City and Central Indiana. A couple highlights from live music this weekend in Indianapolis include Gov’t Mule at the Egyptian Room, a classic spot for Indianapolis nightlife. The Allman Brothers spinoff has been making music since 1995 and are a constant sight at music festivals across the United States.
Another top performance you shouldn’t miss this weekend is virtuoso pianist André Watts’ performance at the University of Indianapolis’ Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center. Watts has performed with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra (at the age of 16), the London Philharmonic, and many others. Watts is currently a professor at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University; his performance Sunday night is sponsored by the American Pianists Association.
