Our season begins on October 4th with a performance by Spokane’s first bluegrass band, Custer’s Grass Band. Original
members Bob Asbury and Les Panther are joined by Terry Ludiker and Scott Brownlee.
From the Brownlee dynasty, Scott’s daughter Olivia will bring to the stage another Spokane native, Kat Bula. Olivia and
Kat have performed together for many years, and though Kat makes her living in Seattle as a professional musician, the
two conspire on occasion.
Olivia Brownlee is a cross-genre singer-songwriter who comes from a family with a long musical legacy in the Inland
Northwest. Her most recent album is This Is Where You Live: Songs Inspired in Spokane 2021-2023, which featured
collaborations with local musicians that celebrated the city’s landmarks, history and people. In 2021, Olivia helped
conceive and take part in the “Arts Mean Business” music video series, which tasked local musicians and filmmakers to
write a song and film a music video in support of a local business of their choosing. Along with her solo work, she
performs regularly with high-profile groups like Zonky Jazz Band.
Kat Bula is from Spokane Valley and had her start playing fiddle with Whytewater, a local bluegrass band. She is a
songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, best known as a fiddler who shreds everything from bluegrass to metal
with a host of different artists. As a side player/band member, Bula has toured extensively with bands ranging from
hardline traditional bluegrass and Western swing, to indie rock and metal. Along the way she’s found opportunities to
work with bluegrass legends such as Laurie Lewis, Kathy Kallick, Molly Tuttle, and Missy Raines; cult-folk icon Jason
Webley, Celtic-pop outfit The Clumsy Lovers, and math-rock group Rooftops, to name a few.
Our concert series will be at the Unitarian church in Spokane...
The schedule is jamming from 4-6 (door opens at 4 pm), finger food potluck at 6, and concert at 6:30.
It's relatively easy to access it from the Maple Street exit on I-90. It's located at 4340 Whistalks Way, just below Spokane Falls Community College, and just up from Government Way... It has ample parking...
We will probably offer the same low ticket prices of $5 for members and $10 for nonmembers for the 2025-6 season. (This applies for the jam and/or the concert) Yearly membership is still $25 per family, and children are free... Please note we can not process credit cards--cash or check only.
Please no food or drinks in the seating area. There is an area to sit and eat with a view of the concert between the concert area and jamming room. The bands donate their performances, and we will continue the tip jar to help them defray their expenses...
