On The River

Madame De Squeeze will be serenading the folks at the Wildberries Farmer’s Market on Tuesday, from 3:30-6:30 p.m. Later in the evening, Nevada City (where Joanna Newsome and Golden Shoulders were reared) indie band Blue Tuesday will be sharing their brand of alt. rock, along with theUptown Kings at the Jambalaya. The Humboldt Folklife Festival will be presenting an Acoustic Jazz night at the Carlo Theater. Blue Lotus Jazz, Hot Club Papers and Gregg Moore & Co. will be the featured performers. Show starts at 7:30 p.m.

And even though the country hunk Clint Black’s appearance at the Arkley Center is sold out on Wednesday evening, you could still check out Humboldt’s own “Sweetheart of the Rodeo,” singer/songerwriter Lila Nelson. She’ll be queen of the court at Blue Lake’s Dell’Arte/Carlo Theater, for the Humboldt Folklife Festival, entitled, “Lila’s Choice.” Good Lila? Or Bad Lila? You’ll have to find out for yourself. She’ll be joined by an A-grade assortment of local singer/songwriters, Tim Gray, Angela Rose, Calleaghn Kinnamon and John Ludington. Show starts at 7:30 p.m. Ms. Nelson just completed her new record, Letter Home, which will be released this September (on her own Madeline Music label). There’s a release party/concert planned for that time.
