Lowdown: Re-Watch Taylor Mali’s ‘What Teachers Make’ Before You See Him at CR

Humboldt’s Friday provides plenty of musical destinations. Whether you’re more likely to be moved by the “electro-cana” of Dirtwire, the blistering blues of Mark Hummel, or the hill stomp of Hillstomp, don’t you dare join the “Nothing happens in Humboldt” chorus. 

Oh! And on top of everything else, slam poet and former teacher Taylor Mali will be dropping wisdom at College of the Redwoods tonight. If can’t quite place the name,  you may have stumbled across Mali on YouTube a few years back when his impassioned defense/celebration of educators piece “What Teachers Make” was making the viral rounds.

Have your memory refreshed below, and note the early start time (7 p.m.) in your Lowdown listings below. Hell, you could go see Mali and still go out and shake it afterward. (Maybe he’ll want to go with.)
