Epic Night at St. Brigid's

What an amazing moment at St. Brigid's Taproom last night. A local Moses Lake band with the rather random name of "Free Beer Nuts" wandered in and lit the place up for a couple hours, rocking their own unique brand of what I might best describe as Irish punk. Guitar, mandolin, electric fiddle and three female vocalists, mostly backup singing (when have you heard tight 5-part harmony in a bar?) and then each stepping forward and showing off their respective lead vocal talents in turn.

The energy in the place was spontaneous, one of those moments when you watch the table conversations slowly die out and people begin to turn their heads and chairs to see who or what is making that great sound and ends with the whole place grooving and dancing and  grinning and clapping and raising arms in triumph and disbelief.

I'm so proud of Tom & Whitney and just happy and excited to see their place come into its own. Last night, there was no better place to be in the entire state of Washington than St. Brigid's Taproom on Broadway in little old Moses Lake.
