WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: I Mean, How Many Chances Are You Gonna Have in Life to Catch Tuvan Throat Singers in Ferndale?
For those of you who are familiar with the atmosphere and acoustics The Old Steeple generously offers its patrons, you can probably imagine how a world-class Tuvan throat singing performance might just be an exultant experience. If that sounds like a good way to use a Wednesday, set coordinates to Ferndale for to spend the night with Alash Ensemble. The sounds of Siberia in the Eel River Valley! Yes!
Now, do the members of Alash have washboard abs? LoCO doesn’t claim to know. But if gawking at some of those is more your Wednesday speed, well, keep scrolling your Lowdown below. -AG
