Bye Bye Buju
Last week we had a pair of String Cheesers who’ve moved on to new pursuits; Tuesday, Oct. 13, we get another: keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth, touring behind a new disc, Then There’s Now, mixing sometimes blippy synth jams with catchy pop vocal hooks. He’s touring with multi-instrumentalist Zach Gil, central figure in the beach-rock groove band Animal Liberation Orchestra.
Banjo wizard/slide guitar jammer Tony Furtado stops by the Arcata Playhouse Wednesday, Oct. 14, for an early show in support of his 14th album, Deep Water. He’s on the road with Mia Dyson, a rootsy blues singer/songwriter from the land down under. Dyson, who reminds me of a young Bonnie Raitt, is a big deal back home, winner of an ARIA (the Aussie version of a Grammy) for best blues and roots album.
Later on Wednesday, livetronic guitar-slinger/knob-turner J Wail and drummer aNdu return to Humboldt for a show at Humboldt Brews they’re calling the Naughty Nature Harvest Ball, with “costumes consisting of purely nature” encouraged. Reba will let the music inspire a painting or two; DJ Touch gets things going with some natural grooves. Go natural!
