Welcome to Heard in Humboldt on KHSU, a program where we play a range of live music recordings from Humboldt County.
We often find great recordings from a favorite local venue, Outer Space in Arcata, and this week we will feature a segment of an Outer Space show on May 17, which featured Canadian Folk singer Ora Cogan and local groups Bleater and Octobercountry.
We played a song from Octobercountry from that show a while back, and today we’ll feature the other local group from the bill – Bleater. Bleater is a humboldt county experimental group that describes itself as “forest devotional” – blending folk or spiritual music with inspiration from woodlands and nature. The song we're going to hear today is a cover of an old traditional English folk song, called “Blacksmith.”
You can find more from Bleater by following the group on Bandcamp or Instagram. To check out the full concert with Bleater, Octobercountry, and Ora Cogan, and to watch many other videos of touring and local bands you can visit Outer Space’s Youtube page @outerspacearcata. Thank you so much to all the members of Bleater for their music and to Outerspace for providing the recording. 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.
