Acorn Project
Downtown Sounds welcomes back Acorn Project! As a six piece ensemble featuring saxophone, guitar, slide, keyboards, bass, drums and percussion, Acorn Project produces an irresistibly unique sound. The band's funk-infused progressive rock has rapidly built a following across the Pacific Northwest and has established them as a Bellingham favorite. |
with 3 on the Tree
3 on the Tree is four guys that like to play music because it's their "sanctuary." Their end result is rootsy, funkenrocken, positive music that's good to dance to. Whether festivals, parties or local venues, their approach is the same--play some music and get the people hoping.

with Maggie's Fury
Maggie's Fury combines the rousing melodies of the Irish fiddle and whistle with spirited vocal harmonies likened to Eastern Canadian Maratime traditions. Add a touch of modern folk and you have the perfect recipe for Celtic mayhem packed to the kilt with harmony, passion and spirit.
