There’s a slap-dance night of tightwire funk and bounceable jams happening at Humbrews at 8:30 p.m. for those of you itching to boogie. Seattle’s instrumental funk ‘n soul band True Loves joins forces with local mothership Object Heavy to make the floor rippled and body strengthen with the healing frequencies of the Groove.

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.

Kris Delmhorst plays the Arcata Playhouse at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1.

Due to the increasingly absurd seriousness of the world married to an also increasingly evil and clownish state of domestic affairs, plus my previous underestimation of how painfully literal some people take in information in this column and beyond, I have learned not to engage in April Fool’s gags in print anymore. So I am going to be extremely dry and straight here.

In the interest of covering all the spots where the endangered musician’s open mic still exists, despite the cruelly relentless forces of American decline, I would like to note that the Crisp Lounge is hosting a free one tonight. The music starts at 7 p.m., sign-up begins 15 minutes earlier, which is the same amount of time relegated for each musician’s set.

More roots-rock Americana on tap tonight at the Old Steeple, where Alabama’s relatively young native son Early James will be performing a set of custom tunes which seem older than the maker. In short, James has tapped into the older goods of the deep, resonant human sounds of our cultural traditions and he has the chops and voice to make magic out of that wellspring.

It’s always a good time when Portland’s finest country music rollers and soulful, stardusted cowfolks Jenny Don’t and the Spurs come to town. Extra points a-glowing on the fine stitching and sequins when the group plays the Logger Bar, practically a vacation home by now for this fine act.

Discovery Museum's Perilous Plunge this Saturday

By Kali Cozyris on March 28, 2025 at 6:00AM

Dive into the fun at Redwood Discovery Museum’s annual splash fest, the Perilous Plunge, happening Saturday, March 29, from 11:15 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the F Street Dock in Eureka (free to watch). Cheer wildly from dry land as volunteers jump into the chilly bay to raise money for the Discovery Museum, now celebrating its 30th year serving local kids (don’t worry, awards, applause and hot-tub thaw-outs await plungers post-dip).

Speaking of cumbia music and Latin grooves, if you really want to dance your ass down to a nub with some of the finest beat chugging sound blasters in the country, swing over to Humbrews at 9 p.m. for a hefty dose of Makenu, who have set the marker many times over for the county and beyond when it comes to a proper honking dance party. I’ll sweeten the pot by mentioning that premier ska-filled skankers Checkered Past are also up on the bill, so expect your heels to smoke like dragstrip tires by the end of the night ($10).

Wadsworth the Butler—Jeremy Webb, Yvette the Maid—Maddy Arsich, Miss Scarlet—Aubrey O’Leary, Colonel Mustard—Stephan Chittenden, Mr. Green—Ali Laith

Who killed Mr. Boddy? Was it Peacock in the parlor with the pipe — or Mustard in the kitchen with the candlestick?
