Reddit reviews War for the Oaks: A Novel

War for the Oaks, by Emma Bull. Eddi, a singer and guitarist for a bar band in Minnesota, gets dragged into a war between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. It mixes rock and roll, the faeries, and a lot of real world locations in and around Minnesota, and helped define "urban fantasy" as we currently define it. I cannot suggest this book enough.

Some older books: War for the Oaks by Emma Bull (early example of urban fantasy) and Jack the Giant Killer and Drink Down the Moon by Charles De Lint, collected as Jack of Kinrowan (nice urban fantasy mashup of some of the Jack tales).

Also seconding Patricia McKillip, her books are wonderful. I walk around in a daze after I finish one because her worlds are so tenacious.
