4 Fisher Poets
September 7 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$15.00
Like all annual festivals, anticipation builds as the date draws near. Anticipation for Fisher Poets Gathering in its glory of 26 years, has yet to subside and continues to spirit and replenish here at the mouth of the Columbia—in relevance and reverie, the last weekend in February.
KALA (Finnish for Fish) welcomes four local FPG luminaries this September to take the stage, a welcome visit at about the half-way point to the gathering. Co-founders Jon Broderick (guitar and banjo) and Jay Speakman (blues harp and vocals) perform well-loved original tunes. Joining the duo, Fisher Poet Rob Seitz, fisherman and owner of the amazing South Bay Wild, family-owned and operated fishing vessel, seafood market and restaurant, and Geno Leech, Chinook fisherman who began writing poetry in the early 90’s and was one of the first of a handful to take the stage in the 1998 origins of the gathering. His inimitable style precedes him.
Saturday, September 7. 7:30pm. Doors open at 7pm. Tickets $15, online at kalaastoria.com.
