Knut Bell & The Blue Collars

Seasoned country musician Knut Bell has plenty to be thankful for, and he’s the first to admit it. After a hellish few years battling a staggering assortment of personal demons, both chemical and spiritual, the Skagit County native began a road to recovery and has arrived in a remarkable place of peace, but still armed with no shortage of badass showmanship on stage. This weekend’s Thanksgiving shows at the Little Red Hen will no doubt be spilling over with a collective sense of euphoric gratitude—both from Bell and the Hen’s salty and spirited regulars who will be dancing away any tryptophanic effects from the day’s feast.
