TUESDAY LOWDOWN: Humboldt Folklife Society Kicks Off in Blue Lake
Polimana, Daniel Nickerson, Anna Hamilton and Tim Breed
Strings will be strummed, songs will be song and yarns will be spun during the first night of the 2025 edition of the Humboldt Folklife Festival out in Blue Lake. As is the case most years, the week kicks off in Dell’Arte’s Carlo Theatre with Songwriters in the Round, an intimate night of songs and stories with local tunesmiths Polimana, Daniel Nickerson, Anna Hamilton and Tim Breed.
