Curtis Eller Album Release Tour
2025-03-12 19:30 - 21:30
Curtis Eller is a banjo player, songwriter and rock & roll singer. The lifelong show business veteran began performing at the age of seven as a juggler and acrobat, but has since turned to the banjo because that’s where the money is. His band, Curtis Ellers American Circus, has developed a devoted international following based on spellbinding stage performances that combine a dreamlike view of American history with silent film style, physical comedy, and explosive rock & roll energy. The iconoclastic troubadour has spent twenty years relentlessly touring the clubs, theaters and festivals of North America, Europe, and Australia. Ellers legendary solo shows once earned him the title of New Yorks angriest yodeling banjo player. This coming March, Eller will be returning to the Pacific Northwest for a limited run of intimate, acoustic performances in support of his new album, ‘Another Nice Mess’.

Jenner Fox Band Album Release Show with Schmid & Guest Opening
2025-03-21 19:30 - 21:30
The Jenner Fox Band will be celebrating the release of their new album, Anything, at the New Prospect Theatre.
There is something that happens inside a good song. A tootsie roll can take you back to your elementary school playground; a list of baby names becomes a prayer; the voice of a toothless refrigerator man reminds you to say I love you. Jenner Fox tells the stories of people and places with unparalleled compassion and respect. His artful tone, poetry, and fluency on his guitar do something only the brave ones do: let us in.
Jenner combines the lyricism of Joni Mitchell and the commentary of Neil Young to represent the next generation of singer-songwriters. Grammy nominated producer, Cookie Marenco
Since their conception on an experimental cargo bicycle tour through California in 2021, the Jenner Fox Band has delighted audiences up and down the west coast. The five piece band features pacific northwest all-star musicians on piano, organ, electric guitar, bass, dobro, acoustic guitar, and layered vocal harmony.

Schmid & Guest will open the show.
Cayley Schmid and Aaron Guest met at the Bellingham Farmers Market in 2009. Desperately jealous of each other’s busking success, they neutralized the competition and started a band together. This was the beginning of a decade-long musical partnership that descended into marriage. After the retirement of their band, Polecat, in 2020 Aaron and Cayley found themselves musically unsupervised by their bandmates for the first time. Together they play instrumental Celtic music on fiddle and piano.
Jenner Fox Band is the rare act that comes along and doesnt sound like anybody else. They are not to be missed. Jim Goodwin, Jive Radio DJ

Kris Delmhorst Album Release Tour with Erik Koskinen Opening
2025-03-27 19:30 - 21:30
Kris Delmhorst, a Bellingham regular, is a New England singer/songwriter with 9 studio albums and thousands of shows played across the US and Europe. Over more than 25 years as an independent artist, she has built a body of work characterized by a wide-ranging, genre-agnostic curiosity and constant collaboration.
Her new album, Ghosts in the Garden, is a gorgeous and searching meditation on grief, loss and fate. Inhabiting the songs are a host of vivid spirits made tangible: the departed and the disappeared, sins and their consequence; lost loves, missed chances and the invisible sorrows that accompany us all.

“literate and allusive”- Boston Globe

Public Domain Movies - "Big News"
2025-04-05 09:00 - 11:00
*Big News* (1929) is a crime-comedy film directed by Gregory La Cava, following the struggles of Steve Banks, a newspaper reporter whose drinking habits strain his marriage to fellow journalist Margaret. When Steve is fired, he becomes entangled in a dangerous investigation into a drug ring. His situation worsens when his editor is murdered, and he finds himself framed for the crime, forcing him to fight for his reputation and freedom.
Released just weeks before the **Stock Market Crash of 1929**, which triggered the Great Depression, the film captures a period of uncertainty and upheaval. Carole Lombard, credited as “Carol” at the time, would later become a Hollywood icon. The film survives today in a 16mm reduction print, preserving its early sound-era charm despite the economic turmoil that followed its release.
