THURSDAY LOWDOWN: Free Absynth Quartet Show in Arcata
You could do a lot worse on a Thursday than catching one of Humboldt’s hardest working bands in one of Humboldt’s finest breweries. Such could be your curse tonight when local favs Absynthe Quartet peddle their weirdgrass at Arcata’s Redwood Curtain Brewing Company. Chug on that.
Also note that Thursday begins the final weekend of Richard III performances at North Coast Repertory Theatre. Details on those and more in your Lowdown below. —AG
