WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: Dreamy Cosmic Country Rock in Arcata
Gee howdy. The restrained psychedelic twang produced by the Rose City Band sure is pretty and soothing, from what LoCO has heard. If your brain could benefit from the type of aural massage evidenced in the clip above, set your Wednesday night coordinates for Richards’ Goat Tavern in Arcata. The night also features a set by Kayla Cohen AKA Itasca. Details on that and more in your Lowdown below. -AG
