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!
Ted is a Bellingham mainstay. For two decades he fronted the legendary Prozac Mountain Boys and now plays in the Americana delight Cape Flattery. He writes books too!
Jesse and Minori are both Pacific Northwest natives who bonded over their love of 90’s folk rock and alt music. Their music has that influence in both melodies and lyrics.
Sarah grew up in Bellingham and loves creeks, rivers, forests, mountains, the ocean, gardens, friends and kids. She doesn’t write a lot of songs but when she does, they’re about places, growing up and older, work, and friends.
David is a Bellingham based guitarist who studied classical guitar at WWU and play in a band called Trip Hazard.
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.
