For the past seven years, John Craigie has taken his unique musical style across the western United States. He stays true to the essence of folk music, and the traditions of the seminal writers of our past century.

And he's one of KHUM's favorite guests. 

Craigie returns to Arcata on a record release tour for his new album "Working On My Farewell". The record features 10 new songs played entirely on electric guitar. For this tour, Craigie will be promoting it by performing electric with a small back up band.

John’s live performances – in private homes, cafes, festivals, and sold-out venues – inspire and delight his audiences, who welcome him like a long-lost son and return to see him whenever he visits. He has traveled around the world, having played in all 50 states and beyond, bringing his music to nearly every corner of the planet. His fans span generations, political ideologies and geographic locations, but they are all charmed by the dynamic yet humble troubadour peering out from under his signature cap.

Tune in for Q&A and music with John Craigie on Upstage Live. It's live! Mistakes could happen!

Get tickets to his full set (8pm, Arcata Playhouse) here or at Wildberries Marketplace.

Upstage Live is possible through support from Lost Coast Light & Sound. 

Check out one of Craigie's previous appearances on KHUM here. 

After months of being down, KHUM's 104.3 signal IS BACK! However, now in a new location. When 104.7 came north to serve Eureka, Arcata, McKinlyville and all points north better, its 104.3 signal became redundant. After months of engineering work, the new signal has been erected up on Bunker Hill above Ferndale. Now 104.3 can be heard crystal clear in Ferndale, Fortuna, Rohnerville, Rio Dell and anywhere in the Eel River Valley.

So remember, south of King Salmon it's 104.3 FM, north of King Salmon tune to 104.7 FM.

If you've ever wondered which trail you should hike in Arcata's community forest, someone went ahead and biked them with a camera. It also tells you what is and isn't allowed on specific trails. 

Dig in below, and say goodbye to a productive day, because this kicks ass!

UPDATE 2:52pm: Sure, he got detained in the 10 a.m. hour. It looks like that didn't slow his roll. 

From Eureka Police Department:

At 11:43a.m., officers responded to a business on the 2440 block of Broadway after employees caught a male taking items out of service trucks.  The male was Steven Beck (35) of Eureka and the same male that took the tip jar from Dutch Brothers.  This time around he was arrested for petty theft and probation violation. 

Asked for backstory on the suspect, Powell said that Mr. Beck has already been arrested three times in 2015, or roughly one arrest every two and a half weeks.

Original Post: A man apparently rode his bike through the Dutch Bros. drive-through and grabbed the tip from the window at around 10am this morning. An assertive KHUM caller said that he saw the theft, called EPD, and tailed the thief until the police apprehended the suspect.

According to Eureka Police Dept's Brittany Powell:

"The witness was able to provide several directions and our officers caught up with him near the 1,000 block of Del Norte street. They made contact, did a field interview, and the victim did not want to press charges."

Why did Dutch Brothers turn the other cheek?

As of this writing, Dutch Brothers employees could not speak on the record and management hasn't responded (yet).

Apparently one or two helicopters are hovering over Arcata. One caller thinks it's a goose-spooker. Another said it's about for a redundancy line PG&E is planning. What do you know? 

And now, HumCo Helicopter Paranoia (HHP) requires us to play this song. 

This morning Emily and I talked with Tony Dang of California Walks about the goal and mission of the organization to create safe, healthy, walkable communities in California, how CalWalks works with local affiliates and partners, the 2025 Strategic Framework for Increasing Walkability in CA, a summary of their recent Best Foot Forward Summit and some upcoming Community Pedestrian Safety Trainings that CalWalks will be leading in Humboldt County.
