Hope you’re ready for some midweek action because The Bills play the Arcata Playhouse tonight and tomorrow. This brilliant quintet hails from the West Coast of Canada, where they’ve won multiple music awards and fans devoted to what’s described as “innovative interpretations of traditional tunes.” Think instrumental expertise, opulent vocal arrangements, boisterous live performances and memorable songwriting. Claiming musical inspiration from a range of North American traditions, European stylings, rhythms of Latin America and melodies of the wandering Romany peoples, The Bills transcend easy definition.

Should be a fantastic show. Aspiring musicians take note — The Bills also teach a workshop tomorrow.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with show time at 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 general, $10 members and are available at Wildwood Music, Wildberries Market, The Works or online at brownpapertickets.com.
