Winter Concert with Lindsay Street
Lindsay Street is a whimsical, fun, and musically diverse folk-roots band that has been playing gigs since 2004. Based in Bellingham, WA Lindsay Street draws inspiration from past and emerging music traditions that wash up on the shores of Bellingham Bay by way of Ireland, England, Scandinavia and Quebec, with an occasional original tune thrown in the mix. Described as “pan Celtic, quirk and beauty,” Lindsay Street creates unique arrangements that feature accordion, guitar, violin, mandolin, bodhran, banjo, whistles, and other assorted instruments and vocal harmonies. Sponsored by the Friends of the Deming Library. Saturday, Feb 1, 2025, from 3:30pm – 5:00pm.
