WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: The Mona Reels in Eureka
If you’re feeling a midweek itch to get out your Lowdown will scratch you. There’s rodeo in Fortuna, Crabs in Arcata and bands in Eureka. Speaking more on that latter item, The Siren’s Song Tavern is hosting a hat trick of bands, notably headliners The Mona Reels. You can sample their tuneful garage pop above and/or scroll the rest of the days happenings below.
