Monday, July 13th  ~  5 – 7 p.m.

Join us on Monday at Dancing Fish Vineyards:  Kristo Allred is back and playing in the Uncle Buddies duo, and dinner is by the Marigold Wood Fired Pizza Food Truck! Wine by yours truly.

About The Marigold & Menu Below…Mexican soul. Wood-fired heart. Pizza like you’ve never tasted. At The Marigold, we’re not just tossing dough—we’re blending the bold, soulful flavors of Mexican street food with the crackle and charm of wood-fired pizza. Born from a love of gathering around fire, flavor, and family, this food truck is our way of bringing a little slice of home to the streets.

Uncle Buddies began when best friends Kristo Allred and Tel Schieler discovered that their voices blended together in a way neither of them expected. Some guests at Dancing Fish may remember Kristo from his solo performances during Monday Bites last year, but Uncle Buddies brings something entirely new to the stage.

Lauren Flynn &Wilson Castle @ The Taproom

Lauren Flynn & Wilson Castle at the Taproom

Lauren Flynn + Wilson Castle at the Taproom
at Bayview Corner

Homegrown piano compositions, genre-bending originals & reinvented covers.

Wilson Castle is a 17 year old musical phenomenon born and bred in Langley. He plays piano by ear and says the notes show up to him as colors in his mind. Piano is his main instrument but he is learning wind, brass and string instruments as well. He has been performing since he was 13. Wilson composes musical scores and dreams of having a career like John Williams someday. www.youtube.com/@wilsoncastleyay

Lauren is a singer-songwriter and rhythm guitarist whose music spans five EPs and three singles, including a Talking Heads cover produced with Grammy-winning engineer Alfonso Rodenas. Her catalog moves freely between ballads of self discovery, story-driven narratives and a handful of inventive covers. That range is shaped by a full life lived loudly: surviving three natural disasters, a pro wrestling career and training in stand-up comedy in Los Angeles. The result is a troubadour’s catalog: honest, hard-won and built for the stage. Lauren will be joined by violinist, Dr. Tiara Boysen. www.LaurenMakesMusics.com

This will be their second time playing together at the Taproom.
Wilson will open the show.

$30 (each show)

Seattle-based guitarist and vocalist Nick Mardon returns to Ott & Hunter Wine Tasting Room on Saturday, May 9th, 2026, for two exclusive, themed performances – each offering a completely different musical experience.

The 6:00 PM show, “Best of the Blues,” is a deep dive into electric blues and blues-rock, featuring music made famous by Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, Johnny Winter, Hound Dog Taylor, and more. With searing slide guitar, soulful phrasing, and raw, expressive playing, audiences will experience one of Seattle’s top power trios in a truly intimate blues setting.

The 8:00 PM show, “Deadheads Delight,” shifts into the psychedelic and improvisational spirit of late ’60s and ’70s jam band rock. Featuring music from the Grateful Dead, Cream, The Band, Jimi Hendrix, and more, this set leans into extended jams, musical exploration, and the free-flowing energy that defined an era. https://nickmardonmusic.com/

Over the next 15 years Talbot honed an approach to songwriting and storytelling, driven by his complex fingerstyle guitar work, that has earned him a distinct place in the folk scene.

Accompanied by Whidbey Island’s Keegan Harshman on upright bass and Aaron Chaiclin on drums, the Trio is powered by their tight acoustic arrangements, lush vocals and the ability to suddenly stretch into the unexpected.

Mozart in Love

Mozart in Love

From the Heart: Mozart’s Sonatas and Songs

A VALENTINE’S DAY CELEBRATION FOR EVERY KIND OF LOVE

Saturday, February 14th  ~  3 – 5 p.m.

The Gift of an Experience: Move beyond the traditional box of chocolates. Sharing a live performance creates a memory that lasts much longer than any physical gift.

A Moment of Connection: This program invites you to unplug and connect. Let the interplay between the music, the artists and the audience provide you with meaningful afternoon of togetherness.

YOUR EXPERIENCE:
To capture the warmth and heartbeat of Mozart’s music, pianist Tamara Friedman performs on the fortepiano—the forerunner of the modern piano. Its delicate, silvery tone creates a perfect conversation with Tekla Cunningham’s classical violin and Addy Sterrett’s luminous soprano. This authentic setup allows you to hear Mozart sonatas and songs as intended with clarity, warmth and color.

Victims of Love – A Tribute to the Eagles!
One extraordinary tribute band, two days to see them live!

While the Eagles may have the record for the #1 and #3 selling albums of all-time,
hundreds of millions of people have never seen them play live.

Jack Radsliff Trio @ Ott & Hunter’s

Jack Radsliff Trio
Saturday, February 8th @ 7 p.m.
$25
Ott & Hunter is delighted to present an evening with the Jack Radsliff Trio as they bring their special brand of exuberant and passionate jazz all the way from Portland into the heart of Langley on our cabaret stage! The Jack Radsliff Trio features Jack Radsliff on guitar; Patrick Golichnik playing bass and Michael Raynor on drums
Jack Radsliff is on the short list of jazz guitarists in the Pacific Northwest. As a bandleader, his trio featuring Patrick Golichnik and Michael Raynor, has become a fixture at clubs throughout the region. As a collaborator, Radsliff is a first-call for many; frequently playing in the bands of Ron Steen, Michael Raynor, Cyrus Nabipoor, Galen Clark, Christopher Brown, Chuck Israels, Alan Jones, Kerry Politzer, George Colligan, Dan Balmer, Idit Shner, Kathleen Hollingsworth, Torrey Newhart and many more: a veritable who’s who of Oregon’s jazz musicians. In addition to his steady work around the PNW, last year afforded Jack opportunities to work as sideman to Jonathan Pinson, Greg Ward, Domo Branch and Charlie Brown; release his sophomore record “Barefoot” (PJCE Records) featuring Randy Porter, Todd Sickafoose and Alan Jones; and tour the west coast extensively with Ian George, Cyrus Nabipoor and the Jack Radsliff Trio.
Jack’s playing can be heard on more than a dozen records to date. His own records, “Migration Patterns” (2017) and “Barefoot” (2024), have been well received; both making it onto critics “best of” lists. In his relatively short recording career, Jack has contributed to releases from Cyrus Nabipoor, Tony Glausi, Martina DaSilva, Dan Rossi, Machado Majiga and Pablo Rivarola. With more and more music coming out, follow Jack on instagram (@JackRadsliff) to stay up to date.
