Six Rivers Brewery is the place to be for a special session of dance, untethered ecstatic worship and an open mixer and celebration of joy for Humboldt’s queer community. Starting today and going forward, DJ Thornestar and The Outlaw Jamie B will be hosting Sanctuary Sundays on the third Sunday of the month. This month’s edition called a Spring Fling with encouragement from the organizers to show up in fine floral prints of all colors and patterns. This is a free, inclusive event, with the only stipulation that it is adults-only. I’ll add my own caveat that while you don’t have to be queer to be here, you must love thy neighbor, so no shitheads. Fuck’s sake, Jesus didn’t die on the cross and I didn’t spend an age studying the Gospels to let the bozos set the tone. Love each other, dammit; our time under the sun is far too brief to let some assholes cast shadows on anyone’s joy.
A little later and farther down the road — specifically at 4 p.m. at the Bayside Grange — bluegrass singer and songwriter Laurie Lewis is back in town with a couple of her right hands, specifically Brandon Godman and Hassee Ciacco, to play some tunes from her latest release O California! for those of you lucky enough to grab a ticket ($35). Don’t balk at the price, Lewis is a treasure, and this is a benefit concert for the Bayside Emergency Disaster Plan. Doors at 3:30 p.m.
Music Tonight: Sunday, April 19
