Bios:
The Handshakers are a five-piece band playing a mix Americana and alt-country music reflecting the Southern sensibilities of the Georgia-born songwriter and leader Mike Bynum. The Arcata-based band, which has been performing for three years, released its self-titled debut album of all original songs in January 2019. The members are Mike Bynum, vocals, acoustic guitar and songwriting; Aleister Paige, pedal steel guitar; Gary Davidson, bass and vocals; Paul DeMark, drums; and Barney Doyle, electric guitar.

They feature 3 part harmonies, and play Americana, Traditional Country, Country Rock and Classic Rock Tunes. Cadillac Ranch has been performing for 11 years in various incarnations. They play monthly at the Mad River Tap Room as well various venues around Humboldt County. The band includes Rick Levin, Guitar & Vocals; Pat Comella, Guitar & Vocals; Ron Sharp, Bass & Vocals; Bill Kerker, Drums & Vocals;and Steve Irwin, Guitar & Vocals.

Huckleberry Flint is a name known fondly around Humboldt County. What began as a traditional string band in 2003 has blossomed into a dynamic group that incorporates many musical influences such as bluegrass, alt-country and rock. Huckleberry Flint still stays true to the folk song convention of rearranging traditional ballads and spirituals in a new, original way; blending old-timey lyrics and melodies with electric instruments and five-part harmonies. The result is a rich, full bodied sound that is truly their own.

Don't miss this great night of music!
