July 23: The Walrus One of the Northwest's favorite bands, The Walrus has been energizing clubs, parties, weddings, and outdoor events since 1995. In January 2015, The Walrus was selected to play for pre-game festivities at the NFC Championship game at CenturyLink Field. The band's vocally rich and intricate arrangements include songs by the Beatles, Queen, the Jackson 5, the B-52s, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, The Police, Jefferson Airplane, Heart, CSNY, Talking Heads, Aretha Franklin, and many others.

July 25: Mara & The Charm Audiences are raving about the raw power and unforgettable energy of Mara & the Charm. This dynamic Seattle-based band is fronted by the incomparable Mara Baker. Baker is the classically trained vocalist turned rock dynamo–whose voice has captivated audiences from coast to coast and across Europe. The band is comprised of six insanely talented members who transform each venue into fun-filled party.

Savanna’s dynamic voice is perfectly matched with an outstanding lineup: Aaron Hiebert on electric guitar, Jason Edwards on drums, and Ethan Gibbons on bass. Together, they deliver an electrifying mix of original tunes paired with a diverse selection of iconic covers ranging from the 60s to today. EDEN performs year-round across Washington, and their music is also available to stream online. August 15: Victims of Love Victims of Love – A Tribute to the Eagles, is comprised of 5 Seattle-area music veterans who formed a project to give anyone within earshot the opportunity to hear those Eagles songs they love played live! August 22: Chris Eger and the Powerhouse Horns Very few musicians are said to be extraordinary examples of excellence in any one genre of music. Even fewer can be described as exceptional across multiple. When considering Chris Eger fits into the latter category as both a guitarist AND vocalist, it is no doubt an especially rare gift. The experience is raw, powerful and handmade – in the USA! The Chris Eger Band is: REAL. AMERICAN. MUSIC.
