Holus Bolus, the one-man band from our neighbor to the north Crescent City, is a fine small-room act.

More than once I have found myself, whether because I am picking up a drunk friend or am in fact inebriated myself, a stranger in the strange land of Eureka, at the Blues Tuesdays night at the Vista Del Mar. Beginning at 7 p.m., you can find a rotating cast of bluesters walking through the 12 bars of that most classic format of American music for free. More often than not members of Legends of the Mind are present, which is always a treat.
