Your above-average Humboldt Wednesday promises joy to those brave enough to venture out. The Shanty regulars will be treated to a loud double bill of Bow Legged Buzzards and The Smashed Glass. They're trying something new up over at Redwood Acres where the Acres of Eats event will boast food from a variety of local vendors, plus music from local favorites Ghost Train. Up at HumBrews they're doing what they do best: just music. Specifically, veteran singer/songwriter Sean Hayes will seduce your ears with his R&B-infused folk. Sample his stuff in the clip above and find details on all today's happenings below.
