Special 4th of July Brews, Blues & BBQ Featuring Chris Eger Band & The Powerhouse Horns
2025-07-04 17:30 - 23:00 | Hotel Bellwether, 1 Bellwether Way, Bellingham, WA, 98225, United States
Special Fourth of July Celebration Featuring Chris Eger Band & The Powerhouse Horns
Hotel Bellwether is excited to announce that its iconic annual summer music series Blues, Brews and BBQ will return this summer every Thursday from July 10th to August 21st, with a special Friday event on Fourth of July with the best seat in the house to view the firework show over Bellingham Bay. Taking place on the Bellwether Waterfront Terrace, the series features live bands, fresh BBQ favorites off the grill, handcrafted cocktails and local brews.

“Blues, Brews and BBQ has evolved into a wonderful community event that brings together a great lineup of local live music, good food and summer fun!” said Hotel Bellwether General Manager Jim Haupt. “We’ve added some new bands and rebooked some fan favorites that should make this year a lot of fun for attendees and have them dancing until the sun sets over Bellingham Bay.”
Attendees can pre-purchase express tickets online and save time and the line, as well as be guaranteed entrance. Limited online tickets available. Additional tickets available at the door until sold out. Seating is first come, first serve.

Chris Eger Band: Very few musicians are said to be extraordinary examples of excellence in any one genre of music. Even fewer can be described as exceptional across multiple. When considering Chris Eger fits into the latter category both as both a guitarist AND vocalist, it is no doubt an especially rare gift. Fronting his own band for close to a decade now, Chris has taken his game to a new level and a new town. When Nashville called, he answered, and this highly anticipated project was born. Eger and his longtime guitar-hero, and Nashville recording artist, Eric Heatherly, joined forces and have crafted an album that demands attention. Rock and Blues, Country, Funk and Soul collide in this modern take on vintage roots music. These are not overproduced, synthesized tunes created by a computer. This is raw, powerful, handmade – in the USA! The Chris Eger Band is: REAL. AMERICAN. MUSIC.
