Lowdown: Musette Monday in Arcata! (VIDEO)

Musette Monday! New York-based musette trio Musette Explosion makes it so tonight at the Arcata Playhouse.

“But what is…?” For those blocked from Wikipedia for excessive editing of the Donald Trump page, bal-musette is “a style of French music and dance that first became popular in Paris in the 1880s.” There’s an accordion and a tuba (also a guitar, but Arcata hears those with each Plaza trip)! 

“But what does that sound like?” Hear the Explosion in the YouTube clip below and/or peruse your Lowdown listings for things less French farther down the page.
