THURSDAY LOWDOWN: The Sadies Give Ferndale a Twang Infusion
The hits keep rolling through The Old Steeple this week. Thursday night, Ferndale’s musical sanctuary plays host to Canadian country rockers The Sadies, who pride themselves on their brand of blistering “cowpunk.” As if that weren’t enough to inspire you to cross Fernbridge, the night features an opening set by Portland’s Jenny Don’t and the Spurs — regulars around these parts in recent years.
More on that show and other Thursday night distractions in your Lowdown below.
