The Sadies are a second-generation Canadian band who have been playing their cool
mix of country and weird rock for three decades from their native Toronto to around the globe. Formerly fronted by the Good brothers, the group has continued on after the tragic death of founding sibling Dallas in 2022, keeping the flame lit for a style which that has attracted collaborations with everyone from the Mekons to Neil Young. In an age where the human part of music is increasingly drowned in generic production and mechanized reproduction, these guys are the shit, the real deal.
Similarly, Portland’s Jenny Don’t and the Spurs hold a place of grimy rhinestone glory
in the live country and western world, and are regular and welcome visitors to
Humboldt. Seeing both of these acts together at one of the best venues for this organic
type of sound, the Old Steeple, is a treat that can’t be beat. The show starts at 7:30
p.m., early bird tickets are available online for $25, $30 at the door plus the risk of
missing out.
