- Fog Holler plays the Arcata Playhouse at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 21.
Here are two great shows in Arcata within walking distance of each other. Unfortunately, they both start at
7 p.m., and no one I know walks that fast, so you’ll have to pick one. Over at the
Arcata Playhouse you will find
Fog Holler, a bluegrass quartet of young, very talented musicians from across the country who have wisely adopted the matching outfit visual style of their long-gone Grand Ole Opry heroes from the beautiful days of before ($20). Meanwhile at the
Outer Space, $10 gets you a quartet of great bands, with punk act
Crystal Logic hailing from Oakland and the rest being some of the best local-ish groups on tap. I am referring to the mighty
Blackplate, Petiole and
Small Craft Advisory. As always, this is an all-ages show in a sober space. Enjoy.
