about the GREEN FROG CAFE ACOUSTIC TAVERN...
Beer. Music. Peanuts. These are the three essential ingredients to having a great time at the Green Frog Cafe Acoustic Tavern (which is a tavern, not a band).
We feature 23 delectable fermented beverages ON TAP, all which hail from the West Coast. We take great pride and joy in finding and selecting (via microscopic-brewery-hunting-trips) the finest ales and lagers for your drinking pleasure. You are bound to find something that interests your palate.
The variety of music that graces our humble establishment is down right mind-boggling.
You may have already seen DANNY BARNES, ANAIS MITCHELL, ALYSE BLACK, CHUCKANUT DRIVE, C.R.AVERY, HAMELL ON TRIAL, HILLSTOMP, HOT CLUB OF COWTOWN, JONATHAN BYRD, MATT COUGHLIN, MICHELLE MALONE, THE WAYBACKS, RACHEL RIES, THE SAM MARSHALL TRIO, STAR ANNA, ROBERT SARAZIN BLAKE, KASEY ANDERSON, THE CRYING SHAME, THE GINN SISTERS, THE MIGHTY GHOSTS OF HEAVEN, or another great act. We have live music every night of the week. The musicians that come through our door are not always well known, but always worth a listen. Please come down and support them.
If you didn't know, 100% OF THE MUSIC you hear in the tavern was made from the BANDS/MUSICIANS THAT HAVE GRACED OUR STAGE, no exceptions. So, if you're hearing it, chances are you saw the show or you're standing next to someone who did.
Get our once a month reminder-email of upcoming shows and brewers nights.
The one thing that separates us from the masses is that we provide instruments for our customers to play. Guitars, banjo, mandolin, bass...we have them all. The stage is open for anyone that wishes to play (unless, of course, there is a scheduled performer on it). The amount of talent in the Bellingham area is incredible and it is truly a joy to provide a venue for those without one.
This has become a peanut bar. The peanuts used to be free, but then we realized we gave away 9000.00 dollars worth of the salty legumes last year. You still get to throw the shells on the floor, but you might think twice about using them to peg your friends across the bar. After all, they were originally intended for consumption.
Influences
Ron Hardesty, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, Emmylou Harris, Lightnin' Hopkins, Johnny Cash, Rodney Crowell, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings.... Beer.

Sounds Like
ALL ORIGINAL MUSIC!! Due to ongoing pressure from ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, the Green Frog Cafe Acoustic Tavern is adopting the official policy of Original Music Only.
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks and to let you know we posted the
final mixes for "The Nickajack EP (Part One)" today. We'd love it if
you stopped in for a listen and let us know what you think.
Hey! Thanks for the add. I've got a couple shows this month (6/24 @ The Swiss in Tacoma and 6/26 @ The Mocha Moo in Lakewood) so if you're in the area, come check it out!
well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.
we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.

With a diverse array of influences, Shai PoeNt (lyricist) and Vanessa Stone (vocalist), cogitatively expand the canon of their artistic liberation. Drawn to hip-hop, jazz, rock, funk, house, and trance, the duo deliberately tease out every strand of their experiences and turns them into something others can relate to.

If you live in the Northwest and plan to make one trip this summer, I recommend checking out the Victoria Ska Festival! It's the only event of it's type in this corner of the world, and it's a quick drive and ferry ride up, or just a hop onto the victoria clipper, which takes you from downtown Seattle right to downtown Victoria.
The Festival runs from July 8-11th and has 2 or 3 shows each day, all within walking distance. All information about the shows, transportation, and accomodations can be found at www.victoriaskafest.ca
