The Lowdown!

Lowdown: Earmarked ‘Monday Music’

Your Humboldt Monday features musical options for any size bank account:

  • Elite ears: You could use this week’s food budget instead for access to some of the most trusted names in American music. Chow down on the masterfully delivered blues, gospel and bluegrass stylings served up by guitarist Ry Cooder, mandolinist Ricky Skaggs, and vocalist Sharon White at the Van Duzer Theatre.
  • Middle class ears: Start your week with some sparkly indie pop at Humboldt Brews in the form of Michael Lerner’s band Telekinesis. Sample how Lerner can make his innermost thoughts into sunny melodies worth nodding along with in the YouTube clip below.
  • “C’mon, it’s Monday” ears: Hey, free karaoke at Six Rivers Brewery is always something. Save for the weekend.
