Thursday’s Pre-Valentine’s Day Lowdown

Your Lowdown will kick today off by imploring you to check out the Lost Coast Outpost‘s Humboldt Valentine’s Guide. Tomorrow is the big day. This is your two-minute warning. 

As far as Thursday goes, tonight is your second and final chance to catch the aggressively authentic bluegrass and witty stage banter that is Dry Branch Fire Squad at the Arcata Playhouse. With nearly 40 years in the pickin’ game, the midwest-born quartet mixes front-porch standards and modern ballads with folksy jokes about banjos. 

(Added bonus: DBFS will melt the skin off the face of KHUM DJ Mike Dronkers live at ‘round ‘bouts 1 p.m. You will not want to miss that transition.)

Elsewhere in HumCo this evening, 94.1 KSLG per-see-naw-lay-tee Sherae O’Shag’ will give a few local lovelorn losers one final pre-Valentine chance to not have to endure a lonely Feb. 14. The second edition of The Humboldt Hookup quasi-dating show takes place at ye olde Six Rivers Brewery. If you get off on public humiliation … see you there!
