Dearest Gentle Readers,

Music can be a salve in these difficult times. Hope you are hanging in there.

Stay strong,

🎃 Happy Halloween 🎃

If you are able to pull yourself away from panicking over the election, here are a couple of worthwhile shows. More to come next week.

BOOO 👻

Hope everyone's still enjoying this thing—it's really fun for me! And if you are new here, welcome.

What kind of monster are you,

Hi! Can't believe this is installment number four of Sound Advice already. Time flies!

Thanks so much for reading—it's seriously appreciated. If you are enjoying this, please share with a friend.

This week: You like guitars? Yeah, me too.

Plug in,

Oh hi there. Thanks for reading.

Before I begin I wanted to give a shout-out to the excellent "what are you doing" newsletter. I don't know who writes it, but it's a great rundown of arts and culture stuff that isn't music. So if you're in need of that sort of thing—and you are—subscribe over here. With the way these disparate-yet-similar efforts keep springing up, it's almost as if there's a legitimate need for an alternative weekly again or something to connect the dots 👀

Anyhow, here we are now, entertain us,

Maria T

Welcome back. Thanks for reading and clicking through or whatever. Tell a friend about this newsletter? Please?

Break out your finest pair of shoes with orthopedic support, we're going concert hopping. A lot of good shows this week, all of them happening on the same night or throughout the course of a day. Make sure to stretch, drink some water, and get food in ya.

Please don’t call it Rocktober,

Maria T

Are you there God? It's-a me, Maria T.
