WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: Humboldt’s Post-Debate Brain Rebuilding Gatherings

Your Humboldt Wednesday features no shortage of out-and-about options to help you heal your head after you put it through a wall while watching tonight’s Presidential debate. Scroll your Lowdown listings below for deets on a livelier-than-most hump day.

Oh, let’s highlight something: Since the tender of age 11 Sierra Hull has been receiving praise for your mandolin manipulation abilities. Now in her mid-20s she has somehow managed to work with Bela Fleck, Alison Krauss and Abigail Washington. Wednesday night she picks in The Old Steeple in Ferndale. Sample her soul in the clip below. —AG
