Friday, April 19

Oh, nostalgia. Why ye be so effective?

If you spent sunny childhood days indoors with sore thumbs repeatedly throwing Bowser into lava only to discover that “your princess is in another castle,” you may be enticed to make a trip up to HSU’s Fulkerson Recital Hall.

On Friday night the HSU Guitar Ensemble is giving the soundtrack to many millennial’s a six string makeover during its Guitars For Gamers concert. As difficult as it may be, try to to resist humming along to every Mario Bros./Zelda theme. This is a performance, yo.

(If you’d like to get rowdy though, the “big reggae show o’ the week”: is over at the Arcata Theater Lounge on Friday — Italian stars Alborosie and Shengen Clan (video below) share a bill with locals Woven Roots.)  

-Andrew Goff
