Welcome to Heard in Humboldt on KHSU, a program where we play a range of live music recordings from Humboldt County. Today we’ll be hearing a great quality live recording of a local favorite, the California Poppies — made up of lead singer and rhythm guitarist Dash Rowe, lead guitarist Chris Reynoso, drummer Gabriel Lubowe and bassist William English III.
This was captured live at the Minor Theatre in Arcata as a part of the “Holy Rainbow Live” show on Aug. 19 2023. A documentary film was also made about the concert directed by Griffin Loch. We’ll hear two songs from the show, “Ballad of a Sunflower” and “Leon Y Tigre.”
Thanks so much to the artists and the Minor Theatre. You can find these songs and more music from The California Poppies streaming on Spotify, and you can find more on the band and upcoming shows by following @thecaliforniapoppies on social media.
Thanks for listening to Heard in Humboldt on KHSU and tune in next time, as we explore more live music from behind the redwood curtain.
And if you’re a local musician who would like your live recordings featured on Heard in Humboldt, send us an email to khsu@humboldt.edu
