WE ARE THE PROBLEM LLC

The Problem is Bellingham’s only jazz/funk/soul/pop collective. Composed of some of Bellingham’s youngest professional musicians ranging from 19-35 years of age, we have no issue playing our own take on hundreds of jazz tunes and originals - as well as pop, funk and soul tunes ranging decades!

We are a GROWING collective of musicians in Bellingham and the surrounding communities. If you're interested in becoming part of The Problem, come support the shows and jam with us!

Founded by local real estate agent, sax player, and Berklee College of Music graduate Frank Youngblood, as well as Bellingham trombonist and performer Samuel Harris, The Problem was formed as an official collaboration between some of the youngest freelance jazz musicians in Bellingham! The Problem is meant to act as an outlet for the creativity, musicianship and spirit of our members and fans alike. We want to spread Bellingham‘s hippest notes across the Pacific Northwest, all while growing the local scene, for local musicians!

When all working together to grow a community around music, the people that matter the most are ALL OF YOU! One important mission of The Problem is to grow and liven up The Pacific Northwest‘s jazz and funk scene from our base in Bellingham, WA. Everyone of all ages should enjoy this funky music! Our fans, local businesses, those who have had us play and/or are looking to have us at your venue or private event - YOU are the solution!
