WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: Steve Poltz Returns
Yes, the most cited piece of trivia about Steve Poltz is that he co-wrote Jewel’s “You Were Meant For Me,” but the Canadian singer/songwriter has made enough trips to Humboldt over the years that we should hopefully be over that by now. He tells the story in the clip above. Now we can move on.
Known for his intimate, off-the-cuff shows, Poltz is again set to charm locals on Wednesday night, this time at the Trinidad Town Hall. Details on that and other gems in your Wednesday Lowdown below.
