To the editor:

If you don’t yet know about SPACECRAFT, Bainbridge Island’s nonprofit performance group sharing space with the Island Music Guild in Rolling Bay, you need to soon.

SPACECRAFT was started by island arts and music lovers Cortney Wollaston, Jim Anderson, and Morgan Terry. They’ve been hosting excellent, fun indie rock concerts and eclectic arts events, mostly under the radar, since last May.

You might find the music featured at SPACECRAFT on KEXP (Seattle) or KFUV (New York), or hear it live in one of these cities, but you won’t hear it live on Bainbridge Island, unless you go to SPACECRAFT. It’s a twinkly, colorful and intimate space suitable for adults and young adults alike.

Over the past six months, SPACECRAFT has hosted Shelby Earl, Lemolo, The Fame Riot, The Weather Machine, Field Study, Jesus Rehab, and the Hoot Hoots, among others.

Upcoming shows include McTuff with Bad Luck (March 13) and Wind Burial with Hungry Cloud Darkening (March 14). These bands are now stopping off on Bainbridge to put on a show before they play larger venues in Seattle or elsewhere across the pond.

If you love alternative music, attend a weekend show, and fall in love. For a moment, you’ll be transported not to the Lost Moons of Mars, but instead to, well, a happier place.

To learn more about SPACECRAFT and upcoming shows, visit www.spacecraftpresents.org, or find them on Facebook.

And then tell your friends. Without your support, we might lose a real music and arts gem right in our own backyard.
