Debut Concert Comes to 7th Street

You have heard whisperings, it is showing up on your Facebook feed and you love the name of the band.  Now here we are to give you all the up close and personal information you need to be at the right spot on the 20th of October.

A live recorded Debut Concert at 7th Street Theater for Roy Reinertsen and The Oarsmen at 7 p.m. is where you need to be this Saturday night.  If you need more convincing check out these videos here, and here!


Roy Reinertsen is a Bluesy-Folksy-Country singer who also happens to play an amazing acoustic guitar.  Born near Pullman, Wa, Roy grew up playing in the school band, however it wasn't until High School that Roy picked up a guitar and the rest was history.  Those first guitar chords he learned because of Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, but Roy is also inspired by the songs of Woody Guthrie, Bukka White, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan as well as by the places he has lived and traveled though over the years. He has lived all over the pacific northwest including Portland, Seattle and Aberdeen, but traveled extensively through Europe, Canada and Korea.  Roy and the band currently live in Olympia, Roy with his adorable dog Bart.  Roy's day job is a full time nurse at a retirement community in Lacey, but his passion is and will always be music as he plays at local festivals and fairs around Puget Sound, including our own Lake Sylvia Festival in Montesano.


Recorded last year was Roy's first studio Album entitled Roy Reinertsen, and he is hoping that the upcoming debut concert will give him the push he needs to become a full-time mainstream musician.  His songs are one part heartbreak, one part fun and most importantly they tell a story.  What is so unique about this debut concert that began as a Kickstarter campaign is that Roy will not only be performing his solo routine, which consists of songs from his first album, but The Oarsmen will be joining him and playing songs from their upcoming album of the band.

The special guest of the evening is none other than Kelsey Bergey of Bergey Voice Studio. A contralto and voice instructor and a personal friend of GoGo Grays Harbor, you can learn more about her here. She will be lending her amazing voice singing arias, expressive melodies for a solo artist, in Italian, French and English.

Tickets are available at Brown Paper Tickets online and Grays General Store.  Tully's Coffee will be working on promotions and 7th Street Theater is putting on the production.  It is sure to be a wonderful evening, and remember it will be recorded live and the live production will be for sale after the show.  Come out and support local music and musicians while you dance the night away to great live music!

Thanks for the Summer!

Am I the only one who blinked, looked at the calendar, and realized it was October? I mean. Yesterday. The air in my neighborhood is flooded with the smell of wood burning stoves and I can no longer take the dog out in the morning without a coat. There are less kites flying on the beach and there are whispers of clam digs to come. Autumn is getting into the swing of things and I'm getting excited for family dinners, new yarn for cozy crochet projects and planning a family of Halloween costumes. Summer was been really busy and really gratifying, but I'm excited to watch the seasons change into something new.

In the beginning of the summer, here at Go Go Grays Harbor we sent out an open calling to small, local businesses in Grays Harbor County for our Brighter Summer Business opportunity. We had big goals to immerse ourselves in as many festivals and events as possible, bring along our Green Screen, hand out sunglasses and have a lot of fun. We were met with tremendous support and these few adventurous companies gave us the opportunity to prove what we already knew was true: Grays Harbor County has so much to offer, you only need to get out and explore it.

These businesses also sponsored our first event: End of Summer Sand Fest! We had a blast hosting and we're pretty sure everyone that came out enjoyed the sun with us! We're excited for next year and can't wait to grow this event into something even more fun.

Music Monday: Gun Me Down

Giving some love to Roy Reinertsen and The Oarsmen who will be performing at 7th Street Theater on October 20th!
