Band of Havilah & Oyster Pop Up with Paellaworks @ Thousand Acre Cider House

We are so looking forward to having Havilah, with the great Phil Sottile on guitar and David Vaughns on percussion, back in for a night of music and friendship!

www.havilahmusic.com
www.facebook.com/havilah.rand

From the jazz halls of New York City to the post-grunge scene of Seattle to the Live Music Capital of the World, Havilah is a true troubadour whose career has spanned several decades and multiple genres. Havilah has recently relocated to the Pacific Northwest after a ten year stint in Austin, TX where she earned herself a steady audience and a respected name amidst a community of stellar musicians. Her songwriting blends a rootsy, rhythmic edge with a poetic lyricism born of adventure, self exploration and artistry at its most poignant. Painted with lush vocal stylings and honey-smoked melodies, Havilah’s songs and voice remind the listener of Joni Mitchell and Nina Simone but with a soul all its own. Joined by slide guitarist Phil Sottile and percussionist Dave Vaughn the set list features country blues and pop covers in addition to Havilah’s outstanding originals

Lonely Tarts Club - A Virtual Valentines Day Event with the Good Time Girls @ Zoom

You don’t have to be lonely or a tart to join us in this celebration of our love for Bellingham history… but it certainly doesn’t hurt!
From its murky origins as a pagan fertility fest to a day honoring various beheaded Christian martyrs to a chocolate-infused capitalist celebration of coupling, “St. Valentine’s Day” is a weird holiday with a weird history. And we are here for getting weird.
As always, we’ll bring the Bellingham History, this time with a Valentine twist. We’re serving historical hotties, crazy confectioneries, Ill-fated lovers and mad madams. And for desert, we have the scoop on “A Romance of Bellingham,” a “photo-play” starring an all local cast filmed in 1919.
We live for local libations and love-potions, so watch for pre-posted recommendations for our favorite cocktail kits and DIY drink recipes for at-home celebrating, sorrow-drowning or whatever floats your boat!
It’s all rolled up in our big juicy Valentine to Bellingham. Because Bellingham, we love you!
