May Artists

Celine of Bellingham band Dream Goats, plays fiddle, guitar, and sings. She loves old-time and Celtic music and writes tunes and songs influenced by these genres of music. When not playing music, she's out on a dog adventure or sewing!

Pete travelled down that long lonesome road ending up in Bellingham where he has been picking with local bands Queens Bluegrass, Yankee Drivers, Cape Flattery and Broken Bow String Band. Pete’s music speaks to universal themes like true love and how to use a diminished 9th chord.

Ted is a Bellingham music gadabout fronting Cape Flattery and a card-carrying Prozac Mountain Boy. He is an award-winning novelist and wonderful songwriter who approaches modern themes from a classic roots tradition.

Rosie was born and raised in Whatcom County. These days she may be seen playing folksy original songs or traditional celtic tunes in groups such as Marie - the Band, the Dream Goats, Bison Socks and Decolletage. She looks forward to meeting your dog.

Commitment to community

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's non-profit
