Your No Good Humboldt Friday (VIDEO)

End your grueling work week with a tap of the toe and ‘grass stained eardrums? Friday night, local “jug grass” warriors the No Good Redwood Ramblers will headline what’s sure to be sardine-ish scene at Blue Lake’s house of worship The Logger Bar. The strummin’ and pickin’ quintet are celebrating the release of their first album, cleverly titled Good Ramblin’. 

Here are three ways to experience the NGRR today: 1) Tonight at the Logger (where they’ll share the bill with the mighty Gunsafe); 2) Today on KHUM 104.3/104.7 (where they’ll share chuckle with the mighty Larry Trask.); 3) In the Humboldt Live Sessions clip for their song “Cold Wind Blows” below.

Non-bluegrass fans (shame on you) can peruse your Friday Lowdown below.
