Friday Lowdown: Supermule Kicks In Arcata

As is not uncommon, a lot of you Humboldt Friday’s action will be Arcata-centered due in no small part to the return of Arts Arcata. Easily the highest profile musical offering of the evening can be found at the Arcata Playhouse where seven-piece soulful bluegrass orchestra Supermule are setting up shop. 

LoCO readers may recall the group rolled through last year, taking time to be featured in the Humboldt Live Sessions music video series. Refresh your lobes below and/or scroll your Lowdown listings farther down.
