Kick off the weekend at maritime museum’s First Friday Night
Hear live music by the Lonesome Highway, learn to create botanical illustrations
ASTORIA — Join the Co-
lumbia River Maritime Mu-
seum during its next First
Friday Night event from 7 to
9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6 at the
Barbey Maritime Center.
Enjoy the alternative
rock music with country
leanings by Richie Bean
and the Lonesome Highway.
Bean is known for his guitar
style; he marries a flamenco
right-hand technique with a
blue, swing and fake ped-
al steel left-hand technique
a la Mark Knopfler. Lone-
some Highway is made up
of Bean, bassist Monte Al-
len, drummer Tim Spahr and
guitarist Jeff Waddell.
A cash bar will be on
hand, as will the opportuni-
ty to learn a few skills you
can use to create a botanical
illustration masterpiece with
expert Seaside illustration
instructor Dorota Haber-Le-
high.
The maritime museum’s
First Friday Nights are an
entertaining, casual and so-
cial experience on the First
Friday of each month that
includes a mix of live mu-
sic, games, film screenings,
skills demonstrations, and
hands-on activities.
First Friday Nights are
free of charge. The Barbey
Maritime Center is located
at 2042 Marine Drive.
