You missed! This event is over
EPIC Spring Gala
This second annual event promises to please, with two great knee-slapping dance bands, gourmet comfort-food dinner, silent art auction, specialty cocktails, the ever-delightful Humboldt Fire Girls serving it all up, along with special guest dance performers and more!! The Arcata Community Center is where all the fun and magic will take place and it is once again being transformed taking you back to the good-ole days of classic Americana.
Petunia and the Vipers is roots Americana music at it’s best, blending sounds that are merged from folk, country, blues, rock and roll and bluegrass. “Road dogs Petunia and the Vipers play upbeat, hillbilly honky tonk that sounds like it took at least a 70-year time machine voyage from its birthplace to your ears. Taking traditional country sounds — the Vipers present a knowing sendup of their legendary influences and translate them into a boot-tapping live experience that’s anything but dated. They brings the hootenanny”.–Andrew Goff, North Coast Journal.
Sour Mash Hug Band is a modern day Jug band with a twist! “Sour Mash Hug Band evokes an era that never quite existed. Paris in the 30s, Harlem in the 20s, New Orleans in the 90s, its hard to say. “An irresistible mix of old-time, gypsy, bluegrass, jazz, Irish, and ragtime.” –The San Francisco Chronicle
