* Stanwood, WA
Bluegrass Jam every Sunday from 3:00 PM till the evening at the new Leatherhead's Restaurant and Bar located in Downtown Stanwood. Since the weather is getting better and people getting ready for the summer, we're going to "scale back" the Stanwood BG jam to once a month. We're committed to continued BG jams but the last few Sundays have been sparse for many reasons. We might go to a weekday and outside on the nice days for a BG jam and suggestions for a new Jam day will be accepted. Watch the Leatherhead's website for information about the BG jam and new date and time. Thanks...Mike Email mhilley@camano.net for info.
