THURSDAY LOWDOWN: Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler! A Real Life Neville Brother in Arcata

You’re a couple days late, but we can imagine Humboldt might be open to breaking Lent to celebrate a tardy Mardi Gras at Humboldt Brews with 77-year-old Cyril Neville, who is, of course, a founding member of the iconic New Orleans R&B institution The Neville Brothers. God will forgive you, friends. Details on that show and other Thursday joys in your Lowdown listings below.
