News from The Leatherhead's Pub and Eatery, located in downtown Stanwood, Wa. We have a weekly jam on Sundays from 3 to closing at 7:00 PM in the upstairs portion of the restaurant. This last year was very successful so we want to create more communications as well as a way to organize bluegrass events. More info on the Meetup Website.
