Join us for a special Open Mic Night at Watercore Cider on January 16th! As we prepare to head out on our winter tour, we’re excited to introduce our friend Kris Lahd, who’ll be taking the helm of our cherished open mic series while we’re on the road.

We couldn’t be leaving these evenings in better hands. Many of you might recognize Kris from his work behind the mixing board – he was the sound engineer who helped bring our Christmastown performances to life this winter, along with many other musicians in the series. When he’s not crafting perfect sound mixes, Kris leads Artemidorus and Cajun Moon, plays lead guitar for Devils Gulch and the Missionaries, and shares his love for our local arts scene through his writing in Artbeat magazine (where he recently interviewed us for the October issue!).

Sign-ups begin at 6:30 PM, with performances from 7:00-9:00 PM. We’d love to see you for this evening of music and community as we welcome Kris and share some tunes before hitting the road. Whether you’re here to perform or listen, you’ll be part of our open mic’s continuing story.

Free admission, all ages welcome.

Set against the backdrop of Wenatchee’s apple orchards, Watercore Cider has become our home away from home. This craft cidery, known for combining the region’s fruit-growing heritage with innovative flavors, has also cultivated a vibrant local arts scene that we’re proud to be a part of.

We have the pleasure of hosting an open mic night on the first and third Thursdays of each month. It’s a special evening where local musicians, poets, and storytellers come together to share their art. The Watercore staff has been incredibly supportive, helping to create a welcoming atmosphere for performers and audience members alike.

But our connection to Watercore doesn’t stop there. Several times throughout the year, we take center stage on weekend evenings as the featured performers. These shows give us the opportunity to really stretch out, sharing a full set of our music with the Watercore crowd.

Whether it’s an open-mic night or one of our featured shows, you might hear us playing anything from traditional English-language folk to our latest originals, all influenced by artists like Stan Rogers, Gordon Lightfoot, and The Milk Carton Kids. The intimate setting of the tasting room provides the perfect backdrop for our acoustic blend of guitar, mandolin, and vocal harmonies.

We’re always excited for our nights at Watercore, and we’d be thrilled if you’d join us. Come for an open-mic Thursday to experience the diversity of local talent, or catch one of our weekend shows for a full evening of our music. Either way, you’ll find a supportive crowd, excellent cider, and a genuine slice of Wenatchee’s arts scene.

So keep an eye on Watercore’s event calendar and our own schedule. Whether you’re coming to perform, listen, or just enjoy some great cider with live music, we’d love to see you there. It’s more than just a show—it’s a chance to be part of a community as rich and flavorful as the ciders they produce!
