neighborhood songwriter showcase
every third friday @6pm
Since July 2023, we have hosted a monthly event at the Stones Throw Brewery where we feature three to four local songwriters. Each share their unique stories through music. Enjoy handcrafted tunes and a selection of local beer, wine, cider, and ginger ale. Whether you're a music enthusiast, a lover of lyrics, or simply looking for a great night out, come support a rotating roster of local artists and non-profits. Cheers to the magic of music and the connections it fosters!
The third Friday of every month at 6 pm! Free! Family and dog friendly!
Chris has been writing and playing in Bellingham for more than two decades. He is clever, vulnerable, and unimaginabley endearing with wonderfully crafted songs.
Larry is a virtuoso fingerpicker with a killer baritone. He writes songs that will stick with you long after the gig is over.
Rachael is a vocal powerhouse, an Americana-style singer/songwriter, who channels the essence of the American landscape through her music. Not to be missed.
Elian is a Bellingham mainstay. A former host of the showcase, he is a dancer and songwriter who makes connections to people and places with relational stories and songs.
As a part of our dedication to the community that sustains us, we donate half of the proceeds from each event to various local non-profits on a rotating basis. Your attendance not only empowers these gifted artists but also supports important causes, infusing every note and chord with a deeper sense of purpose. Through shared commitment, we can create a meaningful impact and foster unity within our community.
This month all the tips will go directly to the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop's scholarship fund. PSGW is a renowned acoustic music camp in the PNW that welcomes all instruments and genres. Despite the name, the camp's collaborative atomosphere brings together mucisians playing everything from accordians to cellos, and bluegrass to jazz.
