Greenwood’s live music scene runs on summer Saturdays in Craig Park, weekend cover bands on the south side, and a Main Street event hall that quietly books national songwriters. Here’s where to hear live music in Greenwood.
Free Summer Concerts
The Greenwood Amphitheater Summer Concert Series at Craig Park is the anchor: free shows most Saturday nights at 7 pm from late May into August — lawn chairs, coolers, and party bands. The 2026 season runs through August 8. Craig Park also hosts WAMMfest (August 15, 2026): wine, art, music, and microbrews all day for charity.
Bars & Stages
Ale Emporium on County Line Road pairs its famous Hermanaki wings with rock and party cover bands most Friday and Saturday nights. Tried & True Alehouse on State Road 135 has made live music a weekly habit with its Thursday and Saturday music nights. And Mad Hatter Shows & Event Center on Main Street is Greenwood’s surprise listening room — ticketed tribute shows and legit national songwriters in an intimate hall. Planetary Brewing rounds things out with a recurring comedy open mic and occasional acoustic acts.

Downtown Indianapolis and Fountain Square are 20 minutes up the road — see our full Indianapolis live music guide.
Peppers Bar & Grill, 299 S. State Road 135, has run since 1999 and hosts an Open Stage every Monday from 7 to 10 p.m. — singers, musicians and full bands all welcome, which is rarer than it sounds; most mics can only take a solo act or a duo. 21+, non-smoking, open until 3 a.m. Pool, darts, cornhole and beer pong the rest of the week.
