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

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
