Halloween weekend is here and the Auburn-Opelika area has a full slate of events to close the month of October with a bang.

This year’s headliners include Americana duo Watchhouse (formerly known as Mandolin Orange); Gambian multi-instrumentalist, singer and composer Sona Jobarteh; Grammy Award-winning country-Latin band The Mavericks; Jamaican lyricist Kabaka Pyramid, who won the 2022 Grammy for best reggae album; Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha (returning for its fourth appearance); and Jupiter and Okwess from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The beloved Finger Lakes music festival marks 30 years of making music and memories.

But the music is still built around Dowd's dark lyrics and inimitable voice, as well as a blend of country, folk, blues, and rock influences.
