Charlie Lou Evans book launch (early)
Charlie Lou Evans is engaged in a eternal battle with a six foot rainbow snake that lives in his pants. But when he's not doing that, he writes poetry.
He grew up in a small town in New Jersey, majored in multimedia journalism and creative writing at Virginia Tech, spent two consecutive summers thru-hiking the Appalachian and Pacific Crest Trail and now lives in Bellingham, Washington.
Charlie placed second in the 2025 Salish Sea Poetry Slam. His first poetry chapbook, Gay Sex, will be released by Sibling Rivalry Press in June 2026. The chapbook traces his journey from sexual abuse to queer liberation.

Geof Morgan, Kerry Hastings
Join student/teacher combo Kerry Hastings and Geof Morgan on June 12 from 7-9:30pm for an amazing night of original songwriting and musical collaboration.
After nine years in Nashville as an award-winning songwriter, Geof Morgan moved to Bellingham in 1982. He recorded four albums blending personal and social topics and in 1991, began working in social services and stopped touring. After semi-retiring, Geof writes, teaches, hikes with his wife Liz, and looks for opportunities to play music and with other long-time musician friends, and new ones like Kerry.
Kerry found her musical voice after turning 40 and has delved into songwriting with curiosity and delight. Her Americana melodies straddle bluegrass, folk and country, telling powerful stories rooted in her identities as a woman, mother and activist.
Jackero, Ivy Ficarra
Rooted in Appalachian old-time music tradition, the duo explores the intersection of traditional music and original songwriting, bringing a fresh sound to old music through a combination of fiddle, banjo, guitar, and close vocal harmonies. Their band name comes from the traditional ballad often written as "Jack-A-Roe," famously performed by Jean Ritchie and Pete Seeger, and reflects their deep respect and reverence for traditional Appalachian music and its rich storytelling traditions.
Edlyn Clevenger
Edlyn sings her heart out. She plays the rhythms that she’s found, from the High Sierra down to the rainbow rocky beaches of Washington, and every moment in between. The sound is female vocals over non-traditional octave mandolin melodies. The lyrics are musings about love, conundrums, joy, anger, and seeking peace. The music is minimalist, yet rich, clean and strong. You may find yourself out of your mind, in a good way.
Jess Chase Girl Band
A night of confessional stories set to indie rock from Jess Chase Girl Band. Brooklyn meets Bellingham for a show complete with props, three part harmony and gritty electronic textures. Originally from Tacoma, Washington, and now a fixture of the NYC scene, Jess crafts a sound that weaves together raw vocals, custom plugins, and vintage synths. Drawing inspiration from artists like Mitski and Grizzly Bear, her live performance is a journey through themes of identity, heartbreak, and self-discovery.
Hot Tomatoes
Inspired by early American swing, French valse musettes, and Django Reinhardt, the Hot Tomatoes are a rollicking mix of blah blah blah.

Bad Posture Club is a queer folk duo made up of Maren Day & Morgan Kavanagh. Originally from Northwestern Washington, they've toured nationally, as well as spent formative years in the Midwest music scene. Together they craft intricate and experimental harmonies with their two voices, banjo, guitar, and a 100-year-old pump organ. Bad Posture Club invites the listener to hear the power in quiet, intimate music, and offers warmth and reflection through song.
