MONDAY LOWDOWN: Whoa! Really? Jon Spencer in Arcata?
Sometimes Humboldt still pulls a weeknight gem. A respected craftsman of high-energy blues punk since the early ‘90s and the spiritual leader of the must-see Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the now-independent Jon Spencer will inexplicably spend his Monday night in on stage of Richards’ Goat Taverns stage in Arcata this week. Who da thunk?
Details on that and other Monday fun in your Lowdown listings below. -AG
