THURSDAY LOWDOWN: Where to Find the Groove in Arcata

Genre-blending Portland funkers Jay Si Proof bring the party to the holy Humboldt Brews stage Thursday night. If you’re in the market for some dynamic horn arrangements, tight grooves and uncharacteristic subtlety for this style of music, LoCO says do this.
