On tues­day my friend Karli Fair­banks stopped in Belling­ham as part of a small tour through the north­west accom­pa­nied by fel­low musi­cians Noah Gun­der­sen and Dylan Mor­ri­son . Karli, Noah and I spent the day hang­ing around town and enjoy­ing the beau­ti­ful sum­mer weather. I think it was the nicest day of the year.

That evening they were fea­tured artists at The Three Trees cof­fee shop and all played ter­rific sets to an enthu­si­as­tic crowd. After­wards we returned to my apart­ment for a pri­vate, can­dlelit show with a few friends and a few glasses of wine.

Here’s a sam­pling of some of Karli’s music off her hand-made tour EP (pic­tured above). Be sure to check out their myspaces for more music and to see if they’re com­ing to a town near you.
