Goodness, gracious. We told you this might be a hectic week of announcements and goodies and we weren’t kidding. In case you missed it, we announced the worst-kept secret in Frederick yesterday when we formally released the details on the Frederick Fall Fest set for Saturday, October 10, at the 200 East Art Haus. J Roddy Walston & The Business. Seaknuckle. Heavy Lights. Old Indian. Are you as excited as we are? We hope so. But we still have a a couple months until we make it there, so for now, let’s concentrate on the next three days. Of Montreal is headlining a night of fun at Flying Dog with Old Indian and Mothers. We spoke with Kevin earlier this week about the show, and he had a lot of interesting things to say. We’ll be there, handing out koozies and the like. You know where else we’ll be? Big Cork Vineyards on Saturday night for the first-ever Jazz In The Vines installment featuring Jeff Cosgrove and Matthew Gillich. So, between wine and beer, we feel like we have this weekend covered, no? Elsewhere, Cafe Nola is hosting its first Frederick Folk Fest starting tonight and it goes on for the next three days. There’s a ton of great stuff going on there, so you really ought to swing by that if you get the chance. The FUNomenon will host Trace Adkins and Jamie Lynn Spears at the Fairgrounds on Saturday, and that’s a great cause with a pair of uber-known names, so if you dig yourself some country music, don’t be shy and check that out. The rain is going to keep Alive@Five away for this week, so here is our sad face. But all is not lost. Because finally, we here at Frederick Playlist get to come full circle: The last Movie Night On The Creek for 2015 is going down tomorrow night and it features “Interstellar.” The opening music? It will be Pete Goodwin’s band, 3:AM. If you remember, the very first artist to play our very first Movie Night installment was, indeed, Pete Goodwin (before Todd C. Walker). The video above came from that afternoon, and this time around, he’ll be bringing his full band to entertain you, and you, and you, and you, and you. It’s free and it begins at 7 p.m. You’ll come grab a koozie or three, right? Maybe? We’re asking nicely. For now, though, settle in for some of the doggiest of summer’s dog days. One more August weekend after this and then … whoa, it seems like the summer flew by, doesn’t it? We’ll be here, there and everywhere over the next three days, so forget the back-to-school-blues and come celebrate the season as it begins to wind down. We’ll bet you a spin of the wheel that you won’t regret it.
