A lot of Fun for a great cause! Steve Webb and The Kooks, a benefit concert for the Whatcom Food Bank,

Monday Music today 3:30-5:00

Rob Hutchings is a wordsmith and seasoned guitarist, his songs are a compilation of original stories, musings and mantras written on his path as a musician and mind/body integrative therapist. Currently residing in Bellingham, Rob originally hails from Britain, attributing his musical lifestyle to his Welsh and Celtic heritage.

Rob's words capture the essence of human relationship in their folk-life quality, while his music style blends the soulfulness of the Blues and the improvisational free-form of jazz, to rhythmically set them free.

This event is not ticketed. However, cash donations of appreciation are gladly accepted.
