Big Band Night

A Western Wednesday Event! Student discounts availableShow 7pm-9pmThe Western Washington University Zim-Marimba Ensemble was established in 2024 by graduate student Caden Davis. This ensemble, mostly made up of music majors, meets weekly to shake up the routine of studying mostly Western classical music and learn this high energy music, most of which originated&nbsp;in Zimbabwe. The instrumental ensemble type, formally known as the&nbsp;Kwanongoma Marimba&nbsp;(band), was introduced first in the 1960s in Zimbabwean music academia and was brought to the U.S. in the 1970's by Dumisani Maraire. Maraire started a movement that sparked decades of collaboration and community between Zimbabwean musicians and Americans who were moved by the music, which is the lineage of this very band at Western. We present arrangements taught to us by Zimbabweans, who encourage us to share their music for the joy of all people!The Bellingham Community Marimba Project is a locally operated music education initiative directed by Caden Davis. BCMP brings community members from all walks of life together for weekly&nbsp;Zimbabwean marimba classes and supports music and cultural education-centered communities in Zimbabwe.

Mountain Dulcimer Concert & Workshop 

Welcome to the 2026 edition and the 12th annual Bellingham Folk Festival!The lights dim, and the room fades. A band hovers on stage right, but on the stage it's just Benny now. The ancient banjo begins to hum, then sing, then rip. With fingers moving impossibly fast, the music begins to vibrate and glow. Transitioning to another song he picks up a homemade and road-worn guitar. The slower, heartfelt ballad written for his first daughter is almost a relief. Subtly, the rest of the band adds layers to the sound one at a time. Benny's voice rings out, adding to the echoes of all the acts that have graced this stage. There is distance in that voice, and you can hear the miles and miles of road in the guitar, vibrating like smooth highways passing under weary tires.Featuring:Jeffrey Scott Mack is a Singer-Songwriter from Bellingham WA. His musical landscapes land somewhere between the dark, evergreen forests of Washington State and the cobble stone riverbanks of the Midwest. He draws inspiration from the mundane moments that unite us all.&nbsp;

That being said, we DO take an intermission for a reason and what you do once you leave the venue is your own business. We won't stop you and we aren't snitches.---Can we smoke with the comedians?We book the comedians to be comedians. That means they are only required to tell jokes, smoke and tell more jokes. If they want to do the smoking part with everyone, we encourage it. Otherwise, it's more about creating a comfortable environment for these comedians to smoke without having to worry about interaction with people. Some of the comedians do not regularly smoke and it is important that we keep them relaxed.

BE-DAY

Sundaze is a devotion to the contrasts of life. This five-piece band brings a whole new sound to the Pacific Northwest music scene by creating a soundscape that weaves together five musicians from widely different walks of life to create something greater. Their sound merges elements of alt-rock, shoegaze, grunge, and alt-metal into a blend of beautiful melodies. Sundaze explores the contrast of the soft and the hard, the sound and the noise, the ethereal and the gritty, all part of the divine cycles of life. The Sundaze sound comes from a layered collaboration of all members and intends to create space for resonance. Their music holds fragments of the members’ diverse life experiences. Mari, our female vocalist, brings lyrical inspiration drawn from South American culture and perspective that shines through the instrumentation with smooth, enchanting melodies. Eddie, the guitarist and vocalist, brings a technical smoothness and intricacy to the sound, Jake contributes the heavier elements and influence through his guitar work, Matt inputs life and energy through his complex, but tasteful drumming, and Max acts as the sonic glue through his well-thought-out bass parts.Stargazy Pie is one of a handful of bands that can say they started a new genre. They merged each member’s diverse influences into what they dubbed shred-pop – a combination of sweeping guitar solos, poignant lyrics, sweet melodies, slamming double-bass drums, prog-inspired bass lines, and guttural screams. Stargazy Pie has honed their live shows at clubs and theaters around the Northwest, including The Moore Theatre, MoPOP, McMenamin’s Spanish Ballroom, The Vera Project, The Central Saloon, Karate Church, and John’s Alley. They have placed in several battles of the bands, winning recording time at London Bridge and Robert Lang Studios. Stargazy Pie was also chosen to participate in SoundOff and More Music at the Moore, where they backed up Cory Wong at a special performance at The Paramount in Seattle.&nbsp;In 2024, Stargazy Pie had just finished tracking their second album PACIFIC NORTHWESTITIS when their music caught the ear of Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor, Sky Cries Mary). He quickly came on board to mix the songs. The band shot three videos for singles off the album, and songs from it have gotten airplay on leading radio stations in western Washington, including KEXP, KISW, and KUGS. They’ve also had two number-one singles in Canberra, Australia.&nbsp;Stargazy Pie has finished tracking their next EP, and they’ll be releasing the first single BLACK AND BLUE on November 14.Deep Contact, hailing from the heart of Everett, Washington, delivers a vibrant and infectious brand of alternative/indie rock. This energetic quartet has quickly become a staple in the local music scene, known for their catchy melodies and dynamic live performances. The band's driving force lies in the synergy between its members: Loden, whose rhythm guitar and compelling vocals provide the foundation; Mark, laying down solid grooves on bass; Chad, whose intricate lead guitar work adds layers of texture; and Keegan, anchoring the sound with powerful and precise drumming. Deep Contact's music is characterized by its blend of upbeat rhythms and thoughtful lyrics, creating a sound that's both fun and engaging. They have a talent for crafting songs that resonate with audiences, leaving them humming along long after the show is over. The band's dedication to their craft and their undeniable stage presence have earned them a loyal following in the Pacific Northwest. They embody the spirit of the Everett music scene, bringing a fresh and exciting energy to every stage they grace.
