It is dixieland jazz, and zydeco and cajun music. Also there is a great, young, old time band, Huckleberry Flint. http://www.redwoodjazz.org I get to be stage manager/M.C. for the most wonderful venue...an old theater which has recently been re-modelled after spending years as a department store...the Arkley has been built in 1910 as the State Theater here, and has wonderful designs...maybe called art deco? I will post more when i research it.. |

I spent a little time in Eureka on business in the late '80s. I see the theater originally had a pipe organ. Any idea what happened to it? -Glenn PS good luck and enjoy the festival |

One of the performances this weekend is a silent movie with live music composed and provided by the pastime-silent-movie-orchestra |
