Find live music, games at First Friday Night ASTORIA — Join the Columbia River Maritime Museum during its next First Friday Night event from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2. This month, First Friday moves back to the Barbey Maritime Center. Enjoy music by Snowblind Traveler, a cash bar and a variety of lively games. Songwriter Matt Dorrien is Snowblind Traveler, a Port- land-based musician who spe- cializes in acoustic folk and blues-inspired music as well as piano-based music. His reper- toire includes original songs as well as an eclectic mix of covers by artists from the ’60s and ’70s to the present day. His music is inspired by the rolling expanse of middle America, the fog and lichen-draped cathedral of red- woods of the Northwest and the lulling whisper of a New En- gland blizzard.
