From the Hum: Traffic's Dave Mason, Funky and Uplifting Basslines at ATL

Posted By Jennifer Savage on Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 7:38 AM

Hall-of-Famer Dave Mason, co-founder of seminal rock group Traffic, appears with his band at the Garberville Theater tonight. After two albums with Traffic, Mason struck out on a solo career, recording the rock classic Alone Together and going platinum with 1977's Let It Flow — you may know the hit single "We Just Disagree." The show benefits the Southern Humboldt Schools Foundation. Tickets are $35 advance, $38 at the door. The theater opens at 7:30 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m.

Back up in NoHum, World Famous Productions presents Fort Knox Five, Love and Light, and JPOD the Beat Chef at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. Here's the skinny:

Fort Knox Five interweaves live instrumentation with funky electronic breakbeats.
Love and Light seeks to elevate people through melodic synth lines, complex chord structure, intricate rhythms and funky, chunky bass lines.
JPOD the Beat Chef's trademark sound is a tasteful fusion of soulful sounds with crispy rhythms and bold basslines. He is also funky and into the lifting of spirits.

Doors open at 9:30 p.m. with happy hour food and beverage prices until 10:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 limited advanced and $15 advance, and available at People's Records, DTA, Wildberries and the Works. This show is 21-and-over.
