The Port Gardner Bay Winery is an intimate listening room located in downtown Everett. The perfect place for sipping and intimate music gatherings.

Join Andie and guitarist Joseph Barton for an intimate blues, funk, soul, R&B, and South Louisiana lagniappe experience. We're adding new material for the new year from across the genres - you never know what we'll do next!

Soul-singer Andie Whitewing is the lead vocalist and front-woman of Whitewing. Born and raised on the Cajun prairies of Southwest Louisiana and deeply influenced by generations of ancestors who were professional musicians, she is a fourth generation recording artist and a voice for healing and social justice. With a versatile, dynamic vocal range and styling, Andie brings deep feeling and interpretation to every performance.

Joseph Barton is a 30+ year veteran recording and touring multi-instrumentalist playing both guitar and bass. He is the lead guitarist and musical director in the Whitewing band.

Whitewing is a collaboration of musicians united by a common vision of bringing love and joy to the world through music with dedication to playing from the heart. This diverse Western Washington-based group brings sassy, soulful energy to both well-known and hidden gem traditional blues as well as blues-influenced R&B, soul, funk, and South Louisiana lagniappe!

Former girl scout Laura LeHew is obsessed with the creepy, creaky underbelly of life and whatever lies beyond. She lives in the realm of possibility, where anything can happen. She is constantly thinking of new ideas and themes to convey in my work. Her intent is to create works that are formally and aesthetically engaging while conceptually connecting with the everyday; to reify the ordinary into the extraordinary; to question realities—social, political and otherwise. Poetry is a way to explore and understand those ideas which frustrate and confront her.

Poetry forms itself, as a whole, in her head—title, form, line length, line break.

Laura received her MFA from the California College of the Arts, co-hosts the reading series, Poetry for the People, received writing residencies to Hypatia-in-the-Woods, PLAYA, MAR, and Soapstone. She owns and edits Uttered Chaos, a small press. Laura knows nothing of gardens or gardening but is well versed in the cultivation of cats.

ROY R. SEITZ is a poet with no initials behind his name.
Catches reads now and then. Has been known to drive

The EPN Story from the Everett Poetry Night website:

At Everett Poetry Night,
We Trust Our Words And We Trust Our
Audience to be Mature and
Open-Minded Enough to Embrace
the Range of Topics Shared.

Everett Poetry Night has been Everett, Washington's premier poetic outlet since 2006. Gathering every Thursday, (except major holidays), to share poetry and song. We welcome everyone from the page poet to the slam poet, from the rapper to spoken word artist and singer songwriter.

Through words we share a bond that makes us a community.

Through words we level walls.

Through listening we honor the performer.

Everett Poetry Nite was founded and hosted by Garrett Rutledge in 2006. His goal was to bring together poets of all ages, skill, and styles into a blended environment that enriched the creative spirit in us all.

In August 2013, Garrett passed on the guidance of Everett Poetry Night to Duane Kirby Jensen, who continues to build upon the foundation Garrett built.

Café Zippy was the home of Everett Poetry Night from 2006 - 2021, when they finally closed their doors. During that time, Café Zippy relocated three times.

2006 to 2012 they were on Hewitt Avenue. 2013 to 2016 they were at 2811 Wetmore Avenue. February 9, 2017 till closing on December 31st, 2021 they were at 1502 Rucker Ave,

Everett Poetry Night was born at Café Zippys in 2006. We moved temporarily to 3231 Creatives on Broadway, which became our home for four months until the Café Zippy's found a new home at 2811 Wetmore Avenue. During January and the first week of February 2017 we found temporary lodging at Black Lab Gallery 1618 Hewitt Ave.

New Location January 2022: The Sister's Restaurant, 2804 Grand Ave., Everett, WA 98201

The Sister's Restaurant is in the Everett Public Market which is also home of The Sno-Isle Food-co-op.

There is plenty of free parking .

Time to forge a new history and expand our poetry community.

The first official special event celebrating our 60th anniversary is "Out on a Limb: Poetry in the Trees." Please join us for an Opening Reception & Poetry Reading on April 1st at 2 pm in the Arboretum Classroom with Washington State Poet Laureate Rena Priest and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Rae Armantrout.

This project began last fall with a call for short poems with a nature theme to be used in the Arboretum during April, National Poetry Month. 60 people entered a poem or two in our contest. Poets Rae Armantrout, a Pulitzer Prize winning poet, and Kevin Craft, English instructor at Everett Community College and editor of Poetry Northwest, generously agreed to act as judges.

Volunteers have been working for about six weeks to stamp the winning poems into clay tablets which will be glazed and fired, and then hung in the Arboretum for the month of April.
