Welcome to The Herald-News’ Will County Inside/Outside Guide. Each week, Features Editor Denise M. Baran-Unland (@Denise_Unland61) highlights a few ideas for you to enjoy your weekend in Will County.

Ready to say good-buy to pumpkin patches, costumes and candy corn - but it’s too early for holiday shopping and letters to Santa?

Let the Rialto Square Theatre re-tune your mood with these three upcoming concerts this weekend and through the coming week. The Rialto Square Theatre is located at 102 N. Chicago St. in Joliet.

America

America will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday.

The Rialto’s website said, “Founding members Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (along with former band mate Dan Peek) met in high school in London in the late 1960s and quickly harmonized their way to the top of the charts on the strength of their signature song ‘A Horse With No Name’...fifty years later, these friends are still making music together, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound.”

Jason Bonham is the son of drummer John Bonham, one of the original members of the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin. Jason will perform at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
