Bourbon and Bellows!!

Treat your ears to the amazing sounds of Bourbon and Bellows as they bring their unique sound of New Orleans style blues, folk, and gypsy jazz music to our first concert of 2025. The four-member group features Ben Macy as the bellows(accordion) and vocals, Jude Noah on fiddle, mandolin and guitar, Dave Riddle on guitar and vocals, and Teresa Palazzo on percussion and vocals. Hailing from Prosser where they formed in 2019, their music encompasses songs over a century old alongside new compositions that you could have sworn you’ve heard before on some old or 78. Their songs are toe-tapping, funny, dark, and just a little bit naughty. Bourbon and Bellows has a style that doesn’t fit easily in any category but instantly accessible to anyone wanting to stomp their feet and sing along with good friends having a great time. They have performed at Tumbleweed, the Emerald of Siam, the Princess Theatreland now for us. Upon first hearing them, Dan Maher described their sound as “amazing - the intense, hot, sweaty jazz of New Orleans rather than the soft, quiet piano lounge.” The group describes itself as “kinda like if Tom Waits and Django Reinhardt started jamming late one night in a dive bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans after too much whiskey.” But you don’t have to go to a tightly packed, hot, sweltering dive bar to hear them - just come to our 3RFS concert on January 18 at All Saints’ Episcopal Church, 1322 Kimball in Richland. The concert begins at 7:30 pm. Park in the back parking lot and enter through the basement. Tickets are $20 general admission / $15 for 3RFS members and can be purchased at the door, or in advance at https://www.3rfs.org/concert.htm.
