Friday, April 12
(WhiteWater Ramble perform on KHUM.)
Since, of course, its Arts Arcata this Friday, the Humboldt action will be centered around the Plaza. Over at Humboldt Brews many strings will get strummed before the end of the night as high-octane dancegrass band Whitewater Ramble (check out video of their song “Fast as Lightning” below) share a bill with the very punctual local jamgrass virtuosos Absynth Quintet (you can hear them live on KHUM at 3:30 p.m.).
UPDATE: We stand corrected. AQ was swapped out for WWR on ze KHUM this afternoon. We’ll get over it.
