Hey hey, it’s another Grateful Getdown matinee show at Humbrews today at 3 p.m., overseen by some of this county’s greatest G. Dead interpreters. Last night’s 9 p.m. gig was for adults of drinking age only but today’s hoedown is for dead people of all ages. As was the case on Saturday, $10 is the […]

If you are a fan of the sort of music that is brewed up in jammy cauldrons for the purpose of making kombucha tonics of festival-friendly tunes whose experimentation never strays too far from note-filled dance grooves and good vibration flavors, then this is your night. Your only quarrel is figuring out how to navigate […]

Tonight belongs to hip hop, at least over at Humbrews, anyway. From 6 to 9 p.m., there will be an all-ages cypher hosted by Chill Will and DJ Burnt Reynolds. Then, after an hour-long reset, the 21-and-over crowd takes over, where for $10 you can enjoy performances by ATG, RA HMPT and Area Sound, all […]

As we wind up to next Thursday’s holiday, the gigs get sparse. To correct for this rocky landing, I’m going to double up on shows, starting today and through every day of the weekend, so you can get your kicks one way or another. Tonight’s very different events start at 8 p.m. Over at the […]

The Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is actually a trio, composed of a bassist, drummer and the titular composer and bandleader’s weapon of choice: the steelpan, an instrument that has always tickled my ears favorably when applied to jazz fusion music, as Mr. Scales and company very skillfully pull off. The music is playful, open and at […]

Barn Fire is Humboldt’s finest honkytonk outlaw country band bar none. The group only comes out of the woods for a few sets a year, so it’s important for any true country fan to roll through and stomp around a bit. This month we’re treated to two gigs, with the Logger Bar’s Halloween show coming […]

So it turns out that Jerry’s Middle Finger is yet another talented Grateful Dead tribute band of note, named in reference to the missing digit on the late guitarist’s right hand, and not (as I had first assumed) a spectral message from that same late guitarist, aimed toward his endless hordes of imitators and fans as […]

Midweek seems as good a time as ever for a jam band gig and this group is still fresh enough to catch them on the exciting upswing part of the career. As with many bands in this genre, Eggy has a funny, slightly annoying and memorable name. I am told the group does the noodling, […]

The Brothers Comatose are a lively string band whose repertoire spans the roots range of Americana, from bluegrass to country and beyond. This quintet has a fairly large following, no doubt due in large part to its exciting stage presence and high degree of musicianship. You can find out for yourself at Humbrews at 9 […]
