The sounds of fall include a reading from Henry Rollins, a folk festival and The Roots

- By Christophe­r Arnott

October isn’t just for ghosts. Dozens of Americana and folk bands are filling the Goshen Fair Grounds. A star sitar player has two Connecticu­t concerts. Four local playwright­s have written live radio-style plays for Halloween. A cerebral punk does his latest spoken word tour, and the country’s leading Latinx dance

company is at UConn.

That’s plenty of variety for any arts week in Connecticu­t, but we’ve also got several theaters beginning their seasons, as well as ever-popular bands such as The Roots in New Haven and an amalgamati­on of the Spinners, Commodores and Billy Ocean at Foxwoods.

Here are some of the top things to do and see this week.
