And a Happy Halloween to you, too. Jack Funk will be ringing in the holiday Saturday night at Olde Towne with their friends in the Joint Effort Collective. We thought this might be a good video to share because it was the most recent Frederick Playlist Presents … session we did that was not at Flying Dog. Which, of course, leads us to this: Don’t forget that our first-ever Brewhouse Sessions Day O’ Music is set to begin at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. You can watch it live and in color if you go to the Frederick Playlist Facebook page. All the deets (as the children say) are here. It will be fun. Promise. Also this weekend, The Two Of Us, who we questioned-and-answered earlier this week, will be at The Hill Chapel in New Market Friday night. Freekbass, who was the latest fine human being to participate in our Celebrity Playlist series, is heading to Shepherdstown and The Opera House tomorrow evening, and that’s also a place where a fine young man named Christian Lopez will perform Saturday night. The Reagan Years are bringing 1986 to Champions this weekend, too. There seems to be an inordinate amount of open mics this evening. Hell, there’s even a KISS tribute on the docket. So, yeah, dudes. Stay dry, stay warm and don’t dress up too much over the next few days. We hear the “President Trump” costume is in high demand ’round these parts. Come on by Saturday (virtually, of course) and then hit up the town via the Rocky Horror Picture Show and a pretty amazing concert that’s set to go down at The Met. So much candy. So many painted faces. Be well. Viva la November.
