Checker Bloom, Black Pontiac (Canada), Killmer

Fresh off the release of their debut album, Ballads of Mirror Road, Checker Bloom (Bellingham) is captivating live audiences with a blend of eclectic, yet cohesive rock sounds. Self described as Cinematic-Western Rock, Checker Bloom sends you on a sonic journey through a desolate wasteland with a diverse range of tracks that defy genre boundaries. 

From the infectious indie disco of "Who Is Michael" to the cinematic 80s blockbuster film-inspired "Wastelander" and the Eagles-esque harmonies of "Forbidden Love," Checker Bloom's music is both wildly entertaining and thought-provoking. Finely tuned and sharp after years of touring, Checker Bloom's live show is infectious. They have been sharing the stage with prominent acts like Wine Lips and Petite Amie, and cracking onto regional festival circuits. 

Catch Checker Bloom in one their few hometown shows of the year.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
