Greenfield’s 5-Band Halloween Party • Saturday
When Mandy Pachios sings, everyone listens. We can’t wait to hit up the Arts Block in Greenfield this weekend to catch her band The Mary Jane Jones play two soulful sets alongside the rock and roll machine Trailer Park, the avant-indie junkyard rocker Wishbone Zoe, the 10-piece crazypants ensemble The Leafies You Gave Me, and synth-cello act Darklight. It’s all at 289 Main St. starting at 8 p.m. $12-$15. — Hunter Styles
Henry Rollins • Friday
Rollins has been many things since his days as the frontman for Black Flag: author, actor, and radio/TV host, to name a few. He takes to the stage these days for what he calls “talking shows,” spoken word performances with commentary on culture and politics, as well as anecdotes from a life well lived. The result is funny, insightful, and damn entertaining. He’s coming to the Academy of Music Theatre this Friday on a four-plus month tour of nearly daily shows. Oct. 28, 8-11 p.m. 274 Main St., Northampton. $25-$35. — Peter Vancini
