How often does a multi-location, 55-band festival happen in downtown Cape Girardeau? So far, once a year — it's called Fawkesfest. And 50% of the profits will benefit Safe House for Women and Honorable Young Men Club. Rock band The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is set to co-headline with country-punk rock five-member Lucero, and you've got the inside scoop.

Though the bands performing are a unique collection, Justin Aden — owner of local promotion company Fawkes Entertainment and former owner of Mixing 10 — said he doesn't want the addition of touring bands to deflect the importance of supporting local talent.

"We have some amazing local talent and local musicians I really want to spotlight," he said.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus will headline the second night of Fawkesfest19 on Aug. 31 at The Library in downtown Cape Girardeau.
