The Mad Liver Bandery, a supergroup of Mad River Brewery employees is playing at, well, where else? The Mad River Brewery Tap Room at 6 p.m. and for free. They’re joined by Knick Moore and Mike Grady, from what I’m hearing. At the Outer Space in Arcata you’ve got some hip-hop from Milo with Randal […]

Here in Humboldt, we have a chance to see the partial solar eclipse, which, admittedly, won’t be as cool as seeing the total eclipse. But we’ll also be spared sitting in traffic for hours on end and camping outside booked hotels up in Oregon. With that said, check it out from around 9 a.m. until […]

Swinging jazz tunes are on the bill up in Blue Lake when Lizzy and the Moonbeams stop by the Mad River Brewery at 6 p.m. Get your dance partner out there and feel free to tip the band during this free show. Former Eureka-based rock band Blood Orphans — now based out of Olympia, Washington […]

It’s the last weekend before school starts for many of our youngsters here on the North Coast, so parents, this might be the final weekend of summer where you’re not doing homework for your kiddos.

As of press time, I think the Yes We Cann Parade and Hullabaloo is still on in Arcata, which parades through town and ends up at the Arcata Ballpark with music starting around 3:20 p.m. with local artists Dynasty One, Winstrong, Silver Hammer, The New Traditions and B Swizlo’s Hip Hop Lounge. If you took […]

It’s Arts Arcata! this evening, so stroll around the plaza and check out the many local musicians providing the soundtrack to your night. I bumped into local bass superhero Dan Davis at the penultimate Crabs game of the season and, after a brief baseball chat, he informed me that Wild Otis would be rocking away […]

It’s not often that you can find a free show from the Absynth Quartet but tonight is one of those rare nights. AQ4 will be up at the Mad River Brewing Co. Tap Room doing its polka-dot grass thing at 6 p.m. Bring the kiddos down to groove along. Out of Chicago comes the immensely […]

Local Dead Head Piet Dalmolen is back from the East Coast and playing his guitar for you this evening at the Mad River Brewery at 6 p.m. He does the solo guitar thing with loops and fancy fingerwork. If you leave a tip — it’s a free show — I’m sure it’ll be easy to […]
