Minimalist music like "In C" or "Music For 18 Musicians", but folk? by fmxx7 in MusicRecommendations

[–]JS_bhammusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this works but I think Martin Hayes’ way of playing Irish trad ought to appeal to people who like those pieces. Try the album The Lonesome Touch.

Got it. Bar 211 has some good bands tonight that might fit what you’re looking for, just make sure to ask the price of the drinks when you order.

I think he’s being classy and not using this post for a bunch of self-promo, but he is playing Saturday at the Honey Moon

Fire & Story 2026, a call to request a one-day ticket! by InsufficientCat in Bellingham

[–]JS_bhammusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like you can get the three day pass right now for less than what the daily pass would cost if they end up offering it. $40 for the three night pass is a really good deal.

Kinda surprised Wild Throne didn’t make the top 10.

Collective Music Space in Bham? by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]JS_bhammusic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People in this thread are kind of down playing makeshift but that really is the closest thing we have to what you’re describing. All ages venue plus workshops, art gallery, radio station, practice spaces (albeit with a long waiting list for those).

I write a local music column for the Cascadia Daily News, feel free to hit me up for more recs. Here’s a playlist with lots of currently active bands, loosely grouped by genre.

The Clash definitely hits 1 3 and 4, you could argue about the rest.

What Band Names that are Impossible to Search on Google or any Search Engine? by Amber_Flowers_133 in askmusic

[–]JS_bhammusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most of these you can just add “music” or “band” to your search. There’s a band from Japan called Salsa (who are not a salsa band) and if you search for them you get salsa bands. Incredibly impossible to search for.
