Piano & Puzzles w/ Aaron Guest (Copy) (Copy)
Aaron Guest (artist name A.Guest) has a new album out, and this time it's all mellow piano instrumentals, written and recorded at home in Bellingham on his piano. The album is called 'Felted' - a locking middle foot pedal lowers a felt cloth between the hammers and strings of the piano, giving it a warm and mellow tone.
He'll be selling vinyl copies of the new album, and playing selected pieces from it as well as a slew of recognizable cover songs (instrumental as well)
Come by, grab a drink or a snack, enjoy the background music, and work on a puzzle by yourself, with a friend, or with a stranger!
Bryan Appleby, Arlen Coiley
Based in Seattle, West Coast folk artist Bryan John Appleby has been writing, recording, and performing his music for almost two decades. His body of work incorporates breezy mid-century pop, intricate finger-picking, and thoughtful cinematic layers.
His latest full-length, Underwater Easy Breathing, exemplifies his distinct production palette. Lush, coastal, and synth-laced, the album is a natural next step in his wandering, often densely layered repertoire. Previous works include The Narrow Valley (2015), a cinematic, maximalist concept album drenched in dreamy, orchestral elements and experimental sounds, and Fire on the Vine (2011), a darker collection with moreconventional folk structures and organic instrumentation.
With a house show tour circuit taking him throughout the Western States, Appleby has shared the stage with artists such as Damien Jurado, Deep Sea Diver, Tomo Nakayama, Y La Bamba, Shaina Shepherd, Dean Johnson, and Sera Cahoone and many others.
Blair Borax, Stefan Weiner, Lolo Wawa (5:30-7:30)
Since 2021, Blair has performed over 350 shows across 18 states, captivating audiences with her honest songwriting, lyrical melodies, and intimate performances. She has graced notable stages including Mississippi Studios (Portland, OR), Parlor Room (Northhampton, MA), Radio Bean (Burlington, VT), and Berlin (New York, NY), among many others.

After years of fighting forest fires, bartending and working with at-risk youth, Sue settled in Seattle and recorded “Little Wildernesses” which has been in rotation nation-wide and locally, recorded with producer Jonathan Plum at the iconic London Bridge Studios. She has performed locally in many of Seattle’s favorite iconic venues and has curated and performed in the ”Great Women of Country and Folk” series hosted by The Royal Room.
