Top 10 Live is a collaborative effort between the Indy.com staff and Indianapolismusic.net

1. WITT Community Radio Bash

8 p.m. Feb. 29, Radio Radio, 1119 E. Prospect St., $7, (317) 955-0995.

Final FCC approval recently came for WITT-FM (91.9), a community radio station in Indianapolis. The station is organizing for a launch and is celebrating with a bash featuring local acts. Kate Lamont & Blueprintmusic, The Philosophy, Blackberry Jam, Sarah Grain and the Mudkids share the bill. Once it's operating, the station promises to be home to a wide range of music, including locally based artists.

2. They Might Be Giants

9 p.m. Feb. 28, The Bluebird, 216 N. Walnut St., $18, (812) 336-3984.

They Might Be Giants' work has always had a children's-music-for-adults feel. So it's no surprise that the duo released a kids' album, "Here Come the ABCs," in 2005, and just followed it up with a CD/DVD set, "Here Come the 123s." But this show at Bloomington's Bluebird nightclub should be strictly for adults.

3. 4th Annual Cash Bash

9 p.m. March 1, Radio Radio, 1119 E. Prospect St., $12, (317) 955-0995.

Four years after his death, the spirit of Johnny Cash still lingers over rock and country music. Local rockabilly group Mandy Marie & the Cool Hand Lukes host the 4th Annual Cash Bash. Bill Kirchen, former guitarist for Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, shares the bill, along with Bigger Than Elvis.

4. The Redwalls and Catfish Haven w/ Modoc

9 p.m. March 1, Birdy's, 2131 E. 71st St., $10, (317) 254-8971.

Chicago indie rockers will help raise money for Rock For Riley. The Redwalls' Britpop sound draws influences from legendary English bands of the '60s and '70s. Catfish Haven's more domestic sound lives between CCR swamp rock and Kings of Leon's Southern-fueled indie rock. Indy expatriates Modoc return home to open.

5. Ben Folds

8 p.m., Feb. 29, Purdue University Elliott Hall of Music, 712 Third St., West Lafayette, $30, (765) 494-3941.

Frequent Indiana visitor Ben Folds kicks off his springtime college tour at Purdue. Folds hasn't released a new album since 2006, so expect a thorough rundown of classic tunes from throughout his career at this show.

6. The Avett Brothers

9 p.m. Feb. 29, The Bluebird, 216 N. Walnut St., $10, (812) 336-3984.

North Carolina's Avett Brothers introduced themselves to Indianapolis audiences at the Midwest Music Summit in 2005 and became an instant hit. The trio's music blends Appalachian instruments and sounds with lyrics addressing the modern world. Fans who don't want to wait for their Indianapolis visit in June can catch them in Bloomington on Friday.

7. Dierks Bentley

7:30 p.m. March 1, Murat Theatre, 502 N. New Jersey St., $34.75-$39.75, (317) 231-0000.

Dierks Bentley (right) quickly has become one of country's top hit-makers. His two most recent albums hit No. 1 on the country charts. He's also released eight Top 10 country singles, five of which reached No. 1. Newcomer Luke Bryan and former "American Idol" contestant Bucky Covington open.

8. Lez Zeppelin

9 p.m. March 1, Music Mill, 3720 E. 82nd St., $12 advance or $14 day of show, (317) 841-1850.

Following the one-show Led Zeppelin reunion in 2007, U.S. Zepheads hoped their favorite band would perform at the 2008 Bonnaroo Music Festival. No, that won't happen. But the next best thing -- New York's all-female Zep tribute band, Lez Zeppelin -- visits the Music Mill March 1 and is booked for Bonnaroo, too.

9. Music For All National Festival

Various times Feb. 28 through March 1, multiple performances and venues, $16 per individual session or $35 for a three-day pass, www.musicforall.org.

Some of the nation's top high school ensembles and orchestras visit Indianapolis this weekend for the Music For All National Festival. Clowes Hall, Hilbert Circle Theatre and the Indiana Historical Society are hosts for the event.

10. The Black Swans, Vollmar, Tonos Triad

8 p.m. March 1, Big Car Gallery, 1043 Virginia Ave. (Suite 215), $5 donation, www.bigcar.org.

Acclaimed folk group The Black Swans has been compared to big-name acts like Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan as well as modern artists like American Music Club. They'll visit Big Car Gallery in support of 2007 album "Change!" Indianapolis folk trio Tonos Triad and Bloomington artist Vollmar round out the bill.
