OCT. 9

The Vivian Girls said they hit the beaches and karaoke rooms when they stopped here en route to their tour of Japan and Australia. They promise more fun when they return, this time on stage.

9 p.m. (doors open 8:30 p.m.) / Loft Gallery and Lounge / $20 / 18 and older / http://www.enterprise.bigcartel.com

OCT. 13

Doug Benson is this generation's Cheech and Chong, but instead of "Up In Smoke," he's famous for "Super High Me," a film that chronicled his 30 consecutive days of pot smoking. See him — just don't inhale.

8 p.m. (doors open 7 p.m.) / Pipeline Café / $20, $40 VIP / 877-714-7668, http://www.groovetickets.com

OCT. 14

As if you needed another reason to check out Steve Byrne's comedy act, he's also in "Couples Retreat," a film coming out Oct. 9. Half Korean, half Irish, he uses his heritage for the basis of his material. And it's all good.

8 p.m. (doors open 7 p.m.) / Pipeline Café / $20, $40 VIP / 877-714-7668, http://www.groovetickets.com

OCT. 18

The definition of a Super Group is one that can make love in an elevator sexy and the sad tale of Janey having a gun sound cool. Aerosmith is coming to Honolulu (and to Maui on Oct. 20), and that's music to our ears.

7:30 p.m. / Blaisdell Arena / $75, $95, $195 / 877-750-4400, www.ticketmaster.com

OCT. 28

Don Barnhart's comedy roots go back to when his father directed Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters on "Mork & Mindy." He's since opened for Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Dennis Miller and a host of others.

8 p.m. (doors open 7 p.m.) / Pipeline Café / $20, $40 VIP / 877-714-7668, www.groovetickets.com

NOV. 8

John Rowles was a fixture in Waikiki back when Don Ho and lounge acts ruled the entertainment world. This performance is being billed as "The Legend Returns," but we like to think of it as an old friend coming home.

7:30 p.m. / Hawai'i Theatre / $49, $69, $99 / 528-0506, http://www.hawaiitheatre.com

NOV. 10

Tickets go on sale Saturday for Lea Salonga in concert. This show is all about the magic of Disney and Broadway musicals. Theoriginal Kim in "Miss Saigon" is also performing Nov. 13 on Maui.

7:30 p.m. / Blaisdell Concert Hall / $39, $49, $125 VIP / 877-750-4400, www.ticketmaster.com

NOV. 28

Mae (pictured) and Owl City are releasing "12 Songs, 12 Months, 1 Goal: Make a Difference." They're releasing three separate collections of music — (M)orning, (A)fternoon and (E)vening — for charity. They've raised more than $50,000 in 2009, all for a good cause.

8 p.m. / Pipeline Café / $24, $40 VIP / 877-714-7668, http://www.groovetickets.com
