THURSDAY LOWDOWN: Now a ZZ Top Tribute Band is Gonna Play In Front of That Dolos!
Thursday marks the opening of the 2022 Humboldt County Fair, which is all well and good. But you have 10 days to head to Ferndale and scope that scene. However, you will only have one chance to check out the final act on this year’s Eureka Summer Concert Series schedule, which just happens to be ZZ Top tribute band Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers. Historic note: The group with be the first ever to perform in front of Eureka’s newly repositioned dolos down on Madaket Plaza. What a time to be alive.
