Love and Luck

And what would life be in Humboldt without a reggae show? Not to worry, the classic JA roots harmony trio The Mighty Diamonds plays HumBrews Monday backed by the Yellow Wall Dub Squad. Remember “Pass the Kouchie” ‘pon the lef’ hand side? Donald “Tabby” Shaw, Fitzroy “Bunny” Simpson and Lloyd “Judge” Ferguson got together in Kingston in 1969 and 40 years later they’re still at it, still dread.

One more last minute addition: Oakland post-hip hop collective Restiform Bodies are on the road with EGadz and N1nth Cloud. The tour stops by Big Pete’s Pizza Wednesday, Feb. 18, for an all ages benefit for KRFH radio. Be there!
