I’m not here to either sell or slag off Oyster Fest. There are more than enough voices out there slinging all the cheers and jeers to top off anyone with a set of eyes and ears — willing or otherwise. Let people have fun, I say, whether that fun involves advocating for or talking shit […]

The Logger Bar is once again hosting a show perfect for its coral-like layers of a century of (occasionally) polished rustic ambience. Tyler John Kraehling is a traveling troubadour whose singer-songwriter repertoire takes the audience down the backroads of folk, country and blues, with both wilderness and signposts running through the mud and gravel. He’ll […]

Tonight’s show will be, like every other performance other than the ultimate one on Sunday, at 6 p.m., and will last about an hour. There is limited seating, and tickets cost $23. Oh, […]

For instance, if you are interested in some DJ’ed dance parties, you can check out the big EDM blow at the Arcata Theatre Lounge […]

It’s once more unto the breach for our dear friends from Portland when living country legends Jenny Don’t and the Spurs return to the 707 to do what they do best: swing, sing and honky tonk the night away. The Logger Bar is a perfect spot for such fine fare, so be sure to roll […]
