• Barn Fire plays the Logger Bar on Friday at 9 p.m.

There are many good shows tonight from just north of Elephant Rock to downtown Eureka so let's get into it. At 7 p.m. local string jazz trio Belles of the Levee ply their early 20th century wares at the Westhaven Center for the Arts. With cost of admission being a sliding scale from $5 to $20, you have no reason not to go.

The Eureka Symphony begins its two-night program of music at the Arkley Center appropriately called In Like A Lion tonight, with pieces by Vivaldi, Dvoák and The Flute Concerto in E-Minor with guest flautist and Eureka native Paula Thomas — check out my interview with her here. The music starts at 8 p.m. but at 7 p.m. there is a musical notes lecture that is very likely worth your time ($19-$49).

And finally, tonight at 9 p.m. at The Logger Bar there is a free show put on by local electric country act Barn Fire who plays a high octane set of outlaw tunes with an occasional sweet one thrown in for flavor.
