October. It’s October. Or should I say Rocktober? (No, I shouldn’t. I’m so tired of people saying Rocktober.)

Do you know what October means? It means September is over, and September was a ridiculously busy month for your pal the Frequency blog. October means that the Sisters Folk Festival, Portland’s MusicfestNW, and the Bend Roots Revival, plus a whole bunch more shows, are in the rearview mirror. It was fun, but I’m exhausted.

Still, there is music to be heard and enjoyed and written about this week:

-Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe is in Bend this weekend. They want you to shake yer thang, and they will not take no for an answer!

-Samantha Crain & the Midnight Shivers are going to provide a pretty amazing soundtrack for an evening at McMenamins Old St. Francis School.

-We ran two pages of photos from the Bend Roots Revival. Check them out here, and click here for my recaps of each day of the festival.

-The Bend Fall Festival’s music lineup is stacked this year! We’re talking BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet, Flowmotion, Shawn Mullins, Curtis Salgado and more. (Click here to read our story about the non-music aspects of the festival.)

-A local group called BAKESTARR helps young adults with Type 1 diabetes. They’re also holding a fundraiser Thursday at Silver Moon Brewing featuring the music of Jones Road and Sagebrush Rock.

-The Domino Room will host four good, young bands tonight: Adventure Galley, The Snag, Tree Dwellers and The Kali Regime.

-When your MC name is Knobody, it makes it difficult for journalists to write headlines that make sense. “Knobody rolls into Bend.” “The Underground welcomes Knobody.” Well, somebody is headlining a big show tonight, and it is Knobody. Everybody clear?

-I didn’t get a story on this into today’s GO! Magazine, but there was something in Tuesday’s Community Life section: Canadian Latin-jazz guitarist Jesse Cook will kick off the Redmond Community Concert Association’s annual series on Sunday. Learn more about the group and the series here.

As always, you should grab a copy of the newspaper to be able to read all these articles, plus all the other nifty stuff in GO! Magazine.
