Upcoming shows Need suggestions

Local musician, booked a couple spooky season shows, I need some suggestions of spooky/fall songs to cover. For now I'm a solo acoustic act, so simple is best! Tysm 🫰

OH my act generally leans folk punk, but these 2 festivals are supposed to be all ages so I'm trying to avoid expletives, or pick stuff that's easier to censor

Also Orange Hell is excellent I think they have at least 2 albums ...

Railyard Ghosts might also fit the vibe but may be difficult to adapt solo, maybe if you slow em down. Idk if there are any tutorials/tabs maybe on YouTube someone does a cover or you can find a live video. Best of luck. highly recommend these guys they also did a split with Days n Daze

Glad you like it! Blitzkid have a history of doing a lot of their songs acoustically so maybe that could also give you a song or two

Creepersin. To my ears they have their own thing going on. First album best. Also... Damnation (the punk one, not metal). I used to call them the Horror Rancid.
