Joe Garceau Unplugged

What:

Internationally-recognized touring folk singer Joe Garceau will bring his all-original set list to Has Beans Café in Old Town Eureka, the heart of Humboldt County.

Joe’s creative tentacles reach out to many mediums, such as poetry, yet he focuses on songwriting with supreme sincerity.

Joe, a 38 years young resident of Table Bluff in Loleta, recently returned from an international jaunt through Germany and Holland, where he shared with the world his love of the people, places and soul of Humboldt County and the North Coast. His hits include the recent “Big Lagoon” and “Humboldt County Line” as well as traditionals like “Hawkin’s Bar” which was, oddly enough, written in the western Trinity County tavern which serves as the local watering hole for said town.
