Our featured show this week is up in the friendly confines of Ferndale. Written in Sand is playing at the Main Street Bar and Grill on Saturday night. They will bring their earnest and riff-laden Americana to the little city on the Nooksack. If you like Wilco, Neil Young and Nirvana, you will love this band.
The show starts at 8:30 and it is free. No cover. Nada. You pay nothing, my friends. Check Written in Sand out on their website writteninsandband.com.
