"Weird Al" Yankovic will be at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum amid his Bigger & Weirder tour on Thursday, Oct. 15, with Puddles Pity Party.

“I’ve been doing this for such a long time,” Yankovic said. “The more you do something, the better you get.

“When I was writing parodies when I was 8 years old, I wasn’t turning out gold. It took a while to learn how to be funny in song. A lot of people do parodies, but it takes a lot of effort to make a good parody, and some people don’t understand that.”

Whoa, Man! are one the most popular bands in town, and they're using their platform for a good cause Sunday, Oct. 11, at Baker Street Centre for the third annual She Rocks the Fort.

Joined by female-led businesses, vendors, and bands Reload, Bad Moon Duo, Gracie Jo, ta'korei, oxenfree, Jenn Shook Band, and Gem, money raised from the event will go toward the latest Jennifer's Harbor initiative, Abie's Haven, a short-term home for women escaping abuse or human trafficking.

“We’re just kind of stepping in and kind of supplementing what (Jennifer's Harbor founder Deb King’s) already done there, but it is extremely exciting to be a part of,” said organizer Sunny Taylor of Whoa, Man!.

“I put out a call to female-fronted bands for this specific event and just got a huge amount of people saying, ‘Hey, I can do this.’ And even people who aren’t necessarily musicians, they’re like, ‘What can we do to help?’ ”
