band perform at
the Fort George
ASTORIA — Fort George
favorite Polecat returns to
the brewery’s upstairs stage
at 8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13.
Polecat is a do-not-miss,
self-proclaimed stomp-grass
band from Bellingham,
Washington. All ages are
welcome, and there is no
cover charge. The Fort
George Brewery is located
at 1483 Duane St.
Polecat’s high-energy
blend of Americana, blue-
grass, Celtic, reggae, coun-
try and rock ‘n’ roll makes
for an incredible live show.
Performing at festivals like
Bumbershoot and the North-
west String Summit, these
guys have their sound down.
If you’ve heard them before,
you know the drill, and if
you haven’t, it is a see, hear
and dance-to-believe show.
Formed in the spring of
2010, Polecat has traveled
all over Northwest, perform-
ing over 400 shows in four
years. The general appeal
of Polecat comes from their
take on roots music and their
interactive live shows.
