FRIDAY LOWDOWN: Have a Drop of Honey (VIDEO)
As is generally the case on the second Friday of the month, most of the Humboldt action tonight will take place in Arcata due to the calendar’s demand for another edition of Arts Arcata. Scroll your Lowdown listings below until your eye sends some info to your brain that makes your mouth go “Hmm!”
One thing we’ll quickly note: HumBrews plays host to Oakland’s “street corner soul” ensemble The California Honeydrops. Soak in their R&B in the clip below before you hand them your hard-earned entertainment dollar. —AG
