Embedded in a Rhythmic Universe

As noted here last week, Sunday night in the middle of the (very local) Folklife Fest, top-flight fiddler, guitarist and songwriter Laurie Lewis andher equally-talented mandolinist partner Tom Rozum are in town for a show at the Arcata Playhouse, presented in part (probably somewhat reluctantly) by the Humboldt Folklife Society.

It’s kind of a last minute addition but the hot L.A. funk ’n’ soul band Orgone is playing at the Red Fox Wednesday, July 14, and if you picked this paper up early, there’s still time to make the show. DJ Knutz and local funksters Crawdad open.

Of course the big show this weekend is the 26th Annual Reggae on the River. (I’ll be there.) You say you don’t like Reggae? The Fieldbrook Summer Music Festival runs Friday through Sunday behind Fieldbrook Family Market. Kulica plays Friday night. They’re just one of a dozen local bands playing there over the weekend.Music in the great outdoors — what could be better?

Just curious as to what folks thought of The Rhythm Devils performance last night.
