Vincent Bigos
July 19th-Farm To Mountain Dinner Series
Seattle musician Vince Bigos has performed on cruise ships around the world and at various venues throughout the west coast. He plays a wide range of music, from 50s country to 60s rock, with occasional 90s. Check him out at the Farm to Mountain Dinner Friday, July 19th!
DJ B Line Dot
Music is therapy for B, a vital element for his soul, and he aims to share that healing experience with others. His choice genres include House, UK Garage, Hip Hop, Funk, Disco, and New Wave. B’s favorite moments are when a track drops and a connection is made—a glance, a nod, a shared recognition of a dope beat. For B, there’s no better feeling than two strangers bonding over the perfect track. Come hear him play at the Mountain Clean Up on July 19th!
Jack Corliss
August 2nd – Farm To Mountain Dinner Series
Coming to you live at Crystal Mountain’s Farm to Mountain event on August 2nd, Jack Corliss is a Singer Songwriter originally from Lake Tapps, Washington, now residing in Santa Barbara, California. He will be singing an array of covers and originals on both acoustic guitar and piano. His greatest influences include Van Morrison, James Taylor, Jim Croce, America, and The Grateful Dead. His music is also greatly influenced by his upbringing of skiing Crystal Mountain and surfing the breaks of Southern California in more recent years.
Lo Liner
August 4th-Mountain Music Series
Described tentatively as “Garage Folk”, Lo_Liner avoids easy comparisons while mining the rich vein of American music that stretches from old country to punk rock. Arlan’s titanic voice, guitar and harmonica is tendered by his partner in the band Lucile Lackie, whose ethereal harmonies, additions on winding lap steel, and percussion, make Lo-Liner a band. Think White stripes meets the Carter Family…or The Handsome Family arguing with Simon and Garfunkel.
Eli Rosenblatt Band
August 9th- Farm To Mountain Dinner Series
The Eli Rosenblatt Band plays a mix of original music and re-invented classics in styles from all over the world. Salsa, Reggae, Hip-Hop and Samba mix with the Jewish flavors of Eli’s Ashkenazi roots to create an earthy, acoustic sound. The music is at once raw and elegant, with rhythm and swing to inspire the body to move and captivating melodies to entice the ear.
Cross Rhythm Trio
Cross Rhythm Trio is the core rhythm section ensemble at the center of Seattle’s premier psych-funk orchestra Polyrhythmics. Diving deep into the raw side of the Deep Funk and Soul Revival, they use the trio format to explore the boundaries of instrumental funk and groove like no other! Keep your mind open and let the music take you on a journey.
PRETTYFUNKDUB
Live-Looped, Instrumental Funk / Reggae / Soul / Hip Hop with Tacoma’s own Jesse Turcotte. Jesse has been a vital part of many NW bands since 1993. This is his first solo project, and it is designed around having the ideal laid-back, esoteric, danceable background for your party / event / celebration! Jesse loops guitars, bass, keys and percussion over drum loops using Ableton Live. Truly a full band sound and an amazing sonic journey!
Patty PerShayla & The Mayhaps
August 11th- Mountain Music Series
Patty PerShayla is a rarity as a combination singer and bassist but has established herself as a stand-out performer by also perching on one leg or strutting the stage in platform heels while fronting her power trio, Patty PerShayla & The Mayhaps. Originally hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Patty and guitarist Lucas Powell played hundreds of shows and racked up thousands of miles before landing in Nashville to explore new sounds.
The South End Boys

Back Porch Reggae and Classic Cuts with The South End Boys! Stripped down, ultra-good vibes with two band leaders and an extraordinary bassist.

Warren Dunes
August 25th-Mountain Music Series
Warren Dunes plays PNW Tropicalia and is led by keyboardist/vocalist Julia Massey. Their unique style of Beach Rock is born from the cold waters and grey sky beaches of the Salish Sea and is highlighted by Massey’s double keyboards and crystalline voice soaring over chiming guitars and thundering drums from husband Jared Cortese and his brother Dominic Cortese. A long-time favorite in Seattle, Massey’s newest project has gained broader attention with performances at festivals around the PNW including Treefort Music Fest, and notable performances at Seattle’s Zoo Tunes and the historic Neptune Theater. Most recently their debut LP “Get Well Soon” was voted KEXP’s #20 album of 2021.
Lakin Music
September 1st-Community Appreciation Day
Growing up in a musical household, it always seemed like music enveloped Lakin’s life. From the time she was born, her dad played in jazz clubs around town, and soon after, began touring as a percussionist & background singer with legendary jazz guitarist, George Benson. Lakin’s mom saw her interest in music from a young age and taught her the basics of piano. She also gifted Lakin her first poetry books, introducing her to the art of symbolism & rhyme. In grade school, Lakin learned how to read music and played the alto sax in band. In her teenage years, as her main instrument became the guitar, she fell in love with songwriting. Lakin went on to study music at Long Beach State and would soon thrust herself into the world of music.
Aaron Saliba
September 13th- Farm To Mountain Dinner Series
A native to Enumclaw WA, Aaron Saliba has been performing live throughout the Northwest for the last 15 years. After a decade of serving as a lead guitarist playing blues, southern rock and country music, he is now performing as a solo guitarist/vocalist. His performances lean toward classic and contemporary country music with a touch of blues/roots music.
