WHAT HAPPENED AT GRUMPY D'S COFFEE HOUSE?
Victory Music deeply regrets having to close our weekly open mic at Grumpy D's in Ballard in May of 2017; it had been one of our finest venues in years. Disagreements with a newly hired employee over an emcee's specific duties as well as arbitrarily imposed limits to volunteering opportunities for prospective hosts and emcees forced us to take this unfortunate step. These capriciously imposed restrictions would have unduly restricted our goal as a musical-education organization to preserve our institutional memory by training new volunteers, We very much enjoyed Grumpy's, particularly working with its music-loving owners Dan and Marta Kurtz, and were disappointed to have to leave.
Grumpy D's is NOT currently a Victory Music open mic, and any monies collected there do not go to Victory Music.

Washington Blues Society Monthly Blues Bash
The WBS is one of the nation's premier Blues organizations, and like any civilized group of musicians holds its monthly meetings in a tavern. Collector's Choice Restaurant & Lounge is a particularly nice one, with lots of room to dance and good food.
TUESDAY, August 14th, 2018 7PM - 9PM (always the 2nd Tuesday)
Collector's Choice Restaurant & Lounge
215 Cypress Ave, Snohomish, WA 98290-2516 (Directions)
Close to the Eastside, Everett and Seattle with a real Dance Floor and Plenty of Parking.
Though held in a bar, Blues Bashes are All Ages. The first act is an acoustic solo or duo act, the second an electric band. In between, a bit of WBS business and a raffle of CDs or concert tickets. C'mon and dig the Blues the way it's meant to be!
