Folk Club at The Blue Room Featuring | Sweater Weather String Band & Andy Bunn @ The Blue Room

Sweater Weather String Band

With members drawn together from all across the Salish Sea by a mutual love of traditional music and knitwear, Sweater Weather String Band blends old-time, honky-tonk, Celtic, and indie rock influences into a style that has been likened to “the frolicking of sheep before a thunderstorm.” Formed from a series of jams and impromptu gigs, the band quickly developed a wildly danceable sound that’s been heard at festivals, folk dances, and bars throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Andy Bunn

Andy Bunn is a songwriter living in Bellingham WA who writes character-focused songs. Some of the stories in the songs stick mostly to the facts and some are tall tales. The characters in the stories feel real to him and that’s enough.

Folk Club shows happen on the first and third Sundays of every month and are all ages! Suggested donation $10-$20 – NOTAFLOF

Doors 2pm | Music 3pm

Folk Club at The Blue Room Featuring | Serafima & the Shakedowns with Mae Powell, The House Wrens @ The Blue Room

Serafima & the Shakedowns with Mae Powell

With a keen eye for life and love, Serafima sings about the experience of a modern day woman in all its sparkle and grit. Through reflective hyperbole and honest observation her lyrics dance their way to the front of your heart, and live in the back of your head. But every pot needs a holder and The Shakedowns know how to distribute the heat. The band brings a unique “un-americana” sound, electrifying classic elements of The Golden Age of Radio, honky tonk, and Russian folk. With an unbridled love for artists like the Grateful Dead and Loretta Lynn, Serafima & the Shakedowns bring a little sass to the country western world.

Mae Powell is a Bay-area based singer, songwriter and rainbow entity on a mission to spread love and magic across all dimensions!

The House Wrens are fiddler extraordinaire Kera-Lynne Newman with multi instrumentalist Jan Peters, performing duets of mostly Irish tunes with Fiddle/Guitar, & Fiddle/Harmonica

House Hazards – a new dance piece @ Firehouse Arts and Events Center

May 16 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm
House Hazards - a new dance piece @ Firehouse Arts and Events Center

Household Hazards, Kuntz and Company’s (KC) newest work, runs May 16th-May 19th at the Firehouse Arts and Events Center at 7:30, with an additional 5:00 performance on the 18th. Staying true to telling the stories of our community through the arts, this latest work examines a wide range of hazards encountered in the home, some heartfelt, some hilarious. With the Firehouse stage transformed into the bones of a home – dining room table and chairs, living room couch, bathtub, bed, closet – 14 dancers explore ideas including love, fear, memory, and loss. While Pam Kuntz, artistic director of Kuntz and Company, is typically the primary choreographer of all KC works created, unique here is that Household Hazards consists of 7 pieces created by 11 choreographers.

Seattle artists Naquoia Bautista, Cara Congelli, and Caitlin Schafte explore the lengths spiders will go to join us in our homes… and the lengths homeowners will go to fend off these arachnid invasions. Seamlessly woven through the spider invasion, Alona Christman and Ian Bivins move through the hazard of talking with their spouse, while Marissa Moeri and Angela Sebastian get lost in nostalgia and pseudo-productivity when “cleaning the closet.”

A piece about a quiet evening at home gone wrong brings Jessica Ardis, Samantha Martin, and Susan Newkumet to the Firehouse stage from their home studio on Orcas Island. These three artists explore what may go awry when a storm hits and unexpected visitors arrive. Meanwhile, Cecelia Hanford and Pam Kuntz move through what it means to have something to lose, and long-time KC artists Vanessa Daines and Kate Stevenson wrestle with a bed sheet in a piece that started with a story, became a poem and is now a tangle – stretched, scrunched, smoothed and embraced. Separately, but nearby in the bathroom, Cecelia Hanford and Gabby Malagreca explore how owning the walls around you creates only a fragile illusion of safety.

Our houses and homes are a piece of a place, each a constructed reflection of culture, history, and future expectations. With the world rapidly shifting around us in a multitude of ways, our homes become intimate mini-landscapes where we attempt to–or are forced to–maintain our cultural routines, all while questioning if the walls and rooms around us are truly the ones best suited for carrying us into the future.

Household Hazards enjoys five performances at The Firehouse Arts and Events Center at 1314 Harris Avenue in Fairhaven, WA – May 16th, 17th @ 7:30 PM. May 18th @ 5:00 and 7:30 PM, and May 19th @ 7:30 PM. For information or disability accommodations contact Pam at 360-510-4711 or kuntzpam@gmail.com. Tickets are available at kuntzandco.org.
