Music in Seattle

[Mickeyboro]

We’ll be spending a few days and nights there next month and wondered if anyone who’s been could alert us to places of musical merit.

 

Thank you!

I spent a month in Seattle, working at Microsoft, albeit in 1995, almost 30 years ago (f**k!).

We used to go to Pioneer Square, which was, a big square with bars all around it. We used to pay $8 to enter the first bar, get a stamp on your hand, and that got you into every bar on Pioneer Square. There was basically a band on in every bar on the square. Lots of blues and soul. I saw a very very good blues/soul band there one night, led by a really old black guy who sang and played bass and sat on a bar stool at the mic. His band were all much younger, and all very good. I hope it’s all still there because it was basically brilliant.
