BANDS
Savage Henry
The local jammers of Savage Henry began playing together in May 2003, and the youngest member of the band is still in high school, making this band’s longevity pretty impressive. Members include guitarist Jordan Watson, guitarist Todd Smith, bassist Andrew Merlina, percussionist Chris Stainback, drummer Eli Watson and Alex McKay on keys and vocals.
All the members went to Ferndale High School, which is where they met. The band has been playing shows in Bellingham for a few years now and also has played in Ferndale, Blaine and Port Townsend.
The band hopes to get some funds together to head out on a weeklong West Coast tour next summer. Savage Henry released an album in 2005, selling all 50 copies. The band recently has been recording again and is planning to release an album this summer. Frank Zappa, Phish, Yes and Miles Davis are a few of the band’s influences.
Savage Henry is playing with jazz funk artist Garaj Mahal at the Wild Buffalo, 208 W. Holly St., tonight. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Music starts at 9 p.m.
