The fact that Weiner and his band deliver the music with the kind of all-out, joyous energy that often seems lacking in popular music today has made them a surefire live music sensation. Local fans who heard Low Cut Connie’s show at the Spire Center in Plymouth last year can attest to that. But in the past year, Weiner’s writing took on a bit more of a topical tone, as the chaos and upheaval in American life left him dismayed. Last year’s single “ Livin In the USA ,” which is seemingly a plea for understanding and an end to hostility, led to some of the most far-reaching reaction of the band’s career.

ManRay spends a year planning for its Heroes Halloween, and you might want to also

“Orc, orc, orc, orc!” the masked and costumed crowd chanted around ManRay’s main stage half-past midnight on Halloween.

Among them were people dressed as superheroes, pumpkin heads and an orc – who in human form happens to be a ManRay regular.
