Tuesday Lowdown: Scott Pemberton Licks Up Arcata (VIDEO)
Summer considered participating in this week but was ultimately like “Meh.” So if you’d like some indoor energy Tuesday night, you might consider throwing on a coat and heading to Jambalaya to watch dirty funk rocker guitarist Scott Pemberton melt a face or two. Before you commit your ears to such an assault, try an online sample of Scott’s shred in the clip below and/or peruse the rest of Tuesday’s Lowdown farther down. —AG
