Harbor Happenings: Live music returns to BoatShop
Good news, music lovers. Live music returns to the BoatShop this Saturday, Jan. 7, with a performance by multi-talented John Nilsen in an all-ages-welcome show.
Arts & Entertainment Sponsor
Arts & Entertainment stories are made possible in part by the Gig Harbor Film Festival, a proud sponsor of Gig Harbor Now.
Nilsen is a piano- and guitar-playing singer-songwriter with whose repertoire includes classical, folk and jazz music.
He began studying piano at age 6 and taught himself to play guitar at age 12. As a lifelong Northwesterner, he loves to tell the stories of the people, landscapes, weather and life in the Pacific Northwest.
