Iowa is one of our more overlooked states and as someone who has been in nearly all 50, I have a soft spot for this land of corn and Slipknot near the disputed zone of the Midwest. I have seen things there and the place has its own taste, one I prefer over say, Oklahoma, which is the Devil’s domain.

The Miniplex is playing more movies again, which bodes well for the future, as the joint holds a place filled by nowhere else regarding showcasing enjoyable and offbeat fare. A case in point is tonight’s 7 p.m. presentation of The People’s Joker, an indie comic book movie parody directed and co-written by actress and comedian Vera Drew.

I always forget about Fairy Festival in Arcata, largely because I don’t have any children of my own and I was kicked out of Neverland 35 years ago for making fun of Peter Pan (“Baby Robin Hood” seems tame, but causes no joy in the land found after the second star to the right and straight on til morning). Anyway, it’s happening again on the Plaza today and so, of course, there must be the afterparties.

There was a little bit of a mix-up last month regarding Wild Abandon playing a gig at the Logger Bar, so let’s just do a quick window-edit in space-time and insert that show into tonight’s slot at 9 p.m. The forecast now looks like you can enjoy a lovely summer’s evening in one of our best watering holes with a great local band for gratis.

Roselit Bone is back in town. This Portland band is one of the few acts I have had the pleasure of seeing live from the early days of covering this beat and that just gets better every time.

Ana Egge is a Canadian-American singer-songwriter, and guitar builder based out of Brooklyn, New York. Her tunes are well-written, and walk on those lovely, gilded splinters set between the converging pathways of modern folk, country and bluesy jazz.

Music Tonight: Tuesday, June 4

The Arcata Veterans Hall is always a fun venue for catching shows and the only one in the county (I'm aware of) that has a nice big cannon parked out front. Tonight’s headliners are a rockabilly band from SoCal called the Crown City Bombers, a name I am certain looks really great embossed on the back of a bowling shirt.
