Leaves aren’t the only thing being purged this autumn.

Mosher, a local illustrator whose work involves birds, butterflies, cute girls and other pretty things from 5 to 9 p.m. Spiral Bookcase, 112 Cotton Street. Diane Vaughn’s newest slate of lush water color meditations will be on display at her Soft Illusions Fine Art Gallery from 7 to 10 p.m. at 4203 Main Street.

What happens when you combine arguably the most groundbreaking bands in the history of modern music –The Beatles – and combine it with the most popular heavy metal band on the planet? Beatallica happens. Their songs spoof Beatles lyrics with Metallica’s trademark vocal delivery-yah, skull crushing guitar licks and dazzling solos. The show starts at 7 p.m. with a $10 cover. Grape Room, 108 Grape Street.
