You asked for it, Humboldt and we finally gave in. The NCJ‘s popular music and more listings grid is now available online for your greedy little eyes. For more fleshed out descriptions of the gatherings gathered below, as well as other non-music events not listed in the grid, be sure to check out Bob Doran’s The Hum and our all event-encompassing Calendar section. Party on.
