Every Good Thing Happening in Humboldt Friday Night

Hmm. Wow. Pertaining to this Humboldt Friday, we would like to highlight the sentiments of LoCO Fun Committee member Jessica McGuinty below since it matches ours exactly:

“Ok, ok, I see how it is. It’s one of those “We’re trying to show off to those people who say there’s nothing to do here” nights, is it? Jeez, Humboldt. Why you gotta cram everything into one night?! Figure it out yourself, my head just exploded.” -JM

Yes. There is too much good here. Just to briefly highlight a few of ‘em:

  • Local heavy funk brigade Motherlode are releasing their first album titled All in Good Time at an event at the Arcata Playhouse. For more info than we have space for here, the NCJ’s J-Sav scored a nice interview with ‘lode drummer Pete Ciotti that you can click to here. 
  • At least a few people who played music with Bob Marley will be on the Van Duzer Theatre stage tonight as part of the 2014 version of The Wailers. Fear not, if you like Bob’s songs. No joke, the group is playing every song from the 1984 compilation Legend. They promise. Way to know your audience.
  • Humboldt Brews temperatures will increase to equator-ish levels thanks to the return of Soul Night. Look for a special set from Arcata’s own DJ Red, who is celebrating his 30th year behind the turntables. His soul is older than yours. Listen up.

Oodles more Friday night human clusters for those not afraid to scroll the Lowdown below. Too many, we reckon.
