SUNDAY NIGHTS AT 7PM
Pooner Clark has listened to, written about and played music for 30 years. He knows what the inside of a - previously - smoky bar looks like! Join him every week for an hour of local music and chat with northwest musicians.
If you are in a local band or are a solo perfomer and would like to join the show contact us below.
THIS WEEK: - Flowmotion is one of the area's most popular bands. Solid musicianship and evocative lyrics have made Flowmotion a band that not only entertains, but also inspires, their audience. Beginning in Friday Harbor, the band has weathered a number of personnel changes and the horrible decline in decent music venues to continue draging folks out for an evening of fun.. We'll listen to cuts from their latest CD Ghost Pepper and find out more about this powerful group.
RECENT GUESTS
Here are some of the artists who've made recent appearances:
Sunday, February 28th - Snug Harbor plays a trippy brand of rock-jazz-funk and whatever that has folks on their feet and dancing. The group is composed of a batch of talented musicians who've emigrated to Bellingham over the past few years and they've all settled in the York neighborhood. The band combines rhythms and styles to create a very melodic and sophisticated music that we'll set your toes to tappin'.
Sunday, February 21st - James Taylor is well known in local music circles. Although he hasn't performed much in recent years, James and the late Guy Mulford had one of the most entertaining duos in the area during most of the 90s. A great interpreter of songs and a fine writer, James has been ill recently and unable to work. A group of musicians are putting on a benefit for James on March 6th at the Edison Tavern. It's an all-star cast of great local musicians, so help out a great guy and have an enjoyable night of music March 3rd at The Edison.
Sunday, February 7th - Birch Riley has been one of the area's hardest rockin' for a decade. Wes, Rick and Shawn have crafted some powerful new recordings with some of the Northwest's great recording talent. A talented group with a new life and some great recordings.
Sunday, January 24th - Fanny Alger is one of the most entertaining bands in the Northwest. The boys compliment their post-punk machinations with a flair for showmanship and eye for the absurd. For more than a decade and through four recordings, the band has never compromised their music or message (?). I always enjoy having these nuts on the show and I recommend checking them out at www.fannyalger.com
Sunday, January 17th - Misty Flowers is a singer-songwriter from Lynden. Her latest release is entitled Now. We found out she's been a full time mom for the past couple of years and is now getting serious about her music again. With the help of her husband, she's put together a good recording of some heart-felt music.
Sunday, December 27th - The DTs pick up my vote as the most exciting rock band in Bellingham. The band has just released a new Live recording and has a couple of studio singles to share. The DTs have recently taken their sound to Spain and Brazil and have distribution for their recordings in those countries. Meet The DTs here:
The Chris Eger Band came into the studio last fall. The band had just won Hugo Helmer Music's Battle of the Bands and had some of the best home made recordings that I've heard. Chris is a young guitarist in the style of Stevie Ray Vaughn and you can tell he loves to play the rockin' blues. Their interview and a number of their recordings are here:
