Various artists — Never Give Up: Celebrating 10 Years of The Postal Service

Few indie bands have had the impact on current music that The Postal Service has. Even fewer have done so with only one album.

Big Worm — Bench All-Stars

Fans of the comedy classic Friday may recognize the name Big Worm, but the Big Worm behind Bench All-Stars is rooted not in South Central L.A., but on the streets of Oklahoma City.

Code 22 — Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!

The guys of Oklahoma City’s Code 22 seem like a likable group of fellas. Their latest release, Going Soft: The Acoustic Album!, is likable enough as well — so likable that on first listen, I took its clean, acoustic sound and clear, unstressed vocals as an alternative praise-and-worship band.

Eureeka — Polysynthetic Fields

It’s always refreshing to hear music that embraces its own eccentricity, yet presents it in an accessible and meek fashion. Eureeka — the Norman-based duo of Jordan Vargas and Devin Wahl — has tapped into this rarified air on its self-released EP, Polysynthetic Fields.

Tom Skinner — Tom Skinner

Sincerity is nearly dead in songwriting. The image of the earnest singer with eyes tightly shut and a crack in his voice as he plunges to emotional depths has become a joke.

Between the days of Popsicles, poolside adventures and the crisp, leaf-strewn days of fall, comes Septemberfest.

Hosted by Gov. Brad Henry and first lady Kim Henry, the 14th annual Septemberfest includes a host of events and activities for the entire family.

The festivities will take place at the Oklahoma Governor's Mansion, 820 N.E. 23rd; the Oklahoma History Center, 2401 N. Laird; and, for the first time, the Harn Homestead, 1721 N. Lincoln.

About 25,000 people attended the event last year, which was spread throughout the 14 acres of the Governor's Mansion, said festival co-chair Lori Sutton.

"Ultimately, Septemberfest is a day where you can bring the entire family, not spend a penny, and yet be entertained and have a great day," she said. "The phrase that goes with Septemberfest is, 'Celebration of all things Oklahoma.'" 

The festival showcases the state's culture through artwork, storytelling, historical exhibits and live performances. An appearance by the Oklahoma City Thunder Girls, a hay bale maze and an abundance of food are all on the agenda.

Septemberfest is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. The festival, which includes admission to the Oklahoma History Center and Harn Homestead, is free. For more information, call 557-0198. "Ta'Chelle Jones
