Nevermind Rocktober, Its Blocktober at the Home of Rock n Roll.

Yes, October has arrived in the Hudson Valley area. As an old school rocker myself, I have always used the term Rocktober with pride! According to Urban Dictionary, The term Rocktober is an informal celebration of rock music taking place every year in the month of October. It may apply to any genre of rock and roll, however it is most often connected to the 'classic rock' genre. A typical Rocktober fan may be described as a beer-drinking, mullett and/or older rock aficionado.
