Bier Near the Pier 🤝 Live Music

We have two fantastic artists lined up for the day:

2:00PM - 4:00PM | Lauren Flynn
Lauren Flynn is a troubadour with a country heart, rock n roll soul and indie alchemy paired with a powerful stage presence gained from stand up comedy and professional wrestling. Authentic & entertaining, she performs familiar covers from favorites like Stevie Nicks & Concrete Blonde and originals that feel like you’ve known them all your life.

4:30PM - 6:00PM | Ebb, Slack, and Flood
Ebb, Slack, and Flood is a high-energy Pacific Northwest musical collective known for their genre-blending, groove-driven sound. Named after the shifting stages of ocean tides, the band transitions fluidly between styles, creating what local critics call an "instant party" atmosphere with a unique blend of funk, Latin, reggae, soul.
