Jerks Things First: For tangential music scene, uh, fun, some of you will be edified to know that season one of The Jerkoff Bros is now available to stream at youtube.com/user/thejerkoffbros. This slow-moving train of knuckleheads was first mentioned in this column two-and-a-half years ago, so you're forgiven for not remembering. Hell, I didn't, either. This collection of comedy skits is the product of Mux Blank (Rat Babies), Kenneth Scott (Unplanned Pregnancies), Gris Grissom (Carnivale of Black Hearts) and North Georgia writer Rhett Huebschmann. The reasons for the delay in production are reported to be joblessness, girlfriend-less-ness (ergo, no money?), jail, probation and drugs. You know, some people would take these factors and create Guns N' Roses. These guys created The Jerkoff Bros. Season one features largely improvised skits featuring, to put it delicately, mostly bathroom humor. Season two, in the works now, is supposed to be more script-based. OK, look, take away Larry the Cable Guy's money, regular nutrition, audience, good luck and self-esteem and you might have an idea of how good this is. That said: Kudos, guys! Wishing you all the best.

Slightly Up the Road: The Wayfarer Music Hall in Monroe will host The Edifice Wrecks Band on Saturday, Oct. 6. The band has multiple ties to the historic Athens music scene. Members Butch Blasingame, Dwight Brown and Ralph Towler formed the band during their high school days in the 1960s, and all three were members of original Athens hard rockers Ravenstone in the early 1970s. Jonny Hibbert was in Atlanta band Cruis-O-Matic—whose biggest claim to fame was opening for The Sex Pistols—but, more importantly to Athens, was also the “Hib” in “Hib-Tone,” the label that released the first R.E.M. 7-inch. This show is a benefit for the Down to Earth Foundation, a Monroe-area environmental charity. The show costs $10, and The Edifice Wrecks Band specializes in '60s pop and rock. For more information, please see wayfarermusichall.com.

Kick the Clay: The North Georgia Folk Festival, one of the most wonderfully understated events of the year, will happen Saturday, Oct. 6 at Sandy Creek Park. The Athens Folk Music and Dance Society-sponsored event runs from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. As usual, there will be multiple food vendors, as well as various artisans selling items and demonstrating old-time skills. The musical lineup this year includes The Borderhop Five, The Bob Hay Band, Elder Kenneth Taylor, Mary Lomax & Bonnie Loggins, The Corduroy Road, Caroline Aiken, The Border Collies, The Georgia Crackers, Bluebilly Grit and Hair of the Dog. A special workshop focusing on the history of Georgia music will happen at 3:30 p.m. Everyone will need to pay $2 admission to get into Sandy Creek, and the festival itself is $12 for adults, $7 for students and free for children under 12. There are many more details available at athensfolk.org, and I heartily encourage you to take a look and make your plans.

The Skipperdees

Leave a Light On: Stunningly great local folk duo The Skipperdees are finally playing Athens again. The show is Monday, Oct. 1 at Go Bar, and the band, sisters Emily and Catherine Backus, will share the bill with Portland, OR folk quintet Alameda. In other news, The Skipperdees are working with musician and producer Jim White for a new album scheduled for release early next year. The working title is Much Obliged, and, like most things Skipperdees, I'll bet dollars to donuts there's a whole lot to unpack under that seemingly simple name. Get all the facts, FAQs and streaming music over at theskipperdees.com.

History and Heritage: This Friday, Sept. 28, the second annual Tin Roof Music Festival will take place at Little Kings Shuffle Club. The event, a benefit for the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation, is billed as "a celebration of the connection between musicians and the historic homes and neighborhoods where they so often live and create." The fun begins at 9 p.m., with performances from several of Athens' most notable up-and-coming acts, including Sam Sniper, Androcles and the Lion, Brothers, Furies and The Breaks. Tickets are $5, and you'll be doing your part to help the ACHF, which aims "to be a proactive force in developing community-wide understanding of the value of historic buildings, neighborhoods, and heritage." Sounds like a win-win! [Gabe Vodicka]
