A Doe Bay Sessions Screening & Fundraiser

On a week of Thanksgiving, we are most certainly feeling thankful for those of you who stopped by the site every Tuesday to see what band we’d be sharing each week and where at Doe Bay they’d be singing. We loved reading your comments and seeing you share the Sessions, every Tuesday was a little like watching a friend unwrap a present you couldn’t wait for them to open.

With Pickwick singing down the sun yesterday (and our most watched video on day one EVER!) the 2011 Doe Bay sessions have officially come to an end and the Sound on the Sound video crew is starting to think ahead to 2012′s sessions and new video series. But not without one last celebration … a special screening of the Doe Bay Sessions on the big screen at Columbia City Theater on December 11th. Not only will you get to see your favorite sessions like you’ve never seen them before, we’ll also be debuting some new never before seen sessions from 2011 and a few of our favorite Doe Bay Session alumnus will reprise their sessions on stage. Plus, we have some other fun surprises in the works.

All proceeds from the evening, which we’re asking for a $5 donation, will go to funding 2012′s Doe Bay Sessions and maybe paying our incredible crew (Tyler Kalberg behind the camera, Chris Proff behind the mic and Claire Yucker corraling everyone) a tiny bit for all their incredible hard work and dedication. Without them, the Doe Bay Sessions would just be a dream. If you’ve enjoyed the sessions, we’d love to see you and say thanks for watching on Sunday December 11th.

p.s. Out-of-State Doe Bay Session fans, we’re SO excited (and mind-blown) you want to donate to help fund next year’s Sessions. We’re in the process of setting up a pay-pal so you can and we’ll share that info here shortly.

Despite the chill in the air and Thanksgiving just around the corner, with the Sasquatch on-sale announcement today and news that Doe Bay Fest has begun accepting artist submissions for 2012, it appears it’s time to start thinking about next summer’s festival season.

Our favorite little festival, the DIY Doe Bay Fest held every August on Orcas Island will be celebrating five years of Fests next August and they’ve just invited artists to submit their tunes for a chance to play it. If you’re in a band and you want to play Doe Bay Feest 2012, you can read all about the Festival’s submission policy on the Artist Home website.

If you’re not in a band, but you’re hoping to attend Doe Bay 2012, this announcement also comes with exciting news for you. Ask your boss for August 9 – 12, 2012 off today.
