John Lee
Northwest Craftsman

John hosted the Acoustic Village open mic at Artichoke and when the pandemic hit in 2020, he conintued to host as we transitioned to Virtual Village.  John's dedication helped dozens of people stay connected and partake in joyful times through song sharing during an otherwise isolating and grim time.  

We are SO thrilled to have him back!
