Just want to give everyone a heads up that we’ll be announcing our first batch of artists for Doe Bay Fest 2010 on March 1st! In the meantime, enjoy these lovely videos of impromptu performances that occurred in places other than that the Doe Bay stages.

Drew Grow & The Pastors’ Wives were among the many artists who took advantage of the amazing setting that is the Doe Bay Resort by performing an impromptu acoustic set overlooking the Rosario Straight on Sunday Morning.  Lucky for us, Joe Bay was there with his video camera.

One of the unique aspects of Doe Bay Fest is just how the music seems to come any time and from everywhere.  Impromptu sets around the resort, and even on the ferry boats going to and from Anacortes are now things that people come to expect to include in their experience at Doe Bay Fest. Above is a video of Friday Mile performing “Lives of Strangers” on the ferry ride home from the fest.  Doe Bay attendees rushed to the front of the boat at the sound of music, hands clapping, and cheers.  It was as if no one wanted the festival to end.

Above is the conclusion of the ferry boat set.  By the time the set was finished, members of Drew Grow & The Pastors’ Wives, Youth Rescue Mission, Indian Valley Line, and the Maldives joined Friday Mile at the stern of the ship for an impromptu blues session (I hate the word jam).   Music was played literally up until the boat pulled up to the terminal and everyone had to run to make it to their cars in time.
