Ian Moore Band
Ian Moore, the Seattle-based, Austin, TX-born guitar player, singer and songwriter makes the proverbial renaissance man look lazy. Coming on the heels of Strange Days, his most successful record since his eponymous debut and despite a never-ending cycle of touring, Moore offers a new release of bright, blazing rock-n-roll that combines his legendary guitar prowess with radio-friendly songs that showcase his elastic, soul-inflected vocals.
Moore founded the artist’s healthcare alliance SMASH (Seattle Musicians Access to Sustainable Healthcare) and has joined the board of NARAS for the Pacific Northwest as governor and head of the advocacy committee.
The Bad Dads
Bad Dads are a three-piece rock ’n’ roll band from Orcas Island by way of California and Texas. They play a spontaneous collision of punk, blues, folk and rock music. If you listen carefully on a quiet Orcas afternoon, you may be able to hear their music emanating from a garage, barn, or other makeshift structure on the island. All three members sing and write songs, so they pass their instruments around proudly.
Their recently released self-titled debut album is a raucous collection of songs covering well worn Dad topics such as war, ennui, conformity, and marital relations. Goes great with a six pack of tall boys.
Baker & West
local orcas talents come together to deliver the repertoire of Baker & West, including an outstanding mix of covers and originals, intricate vocal harmonies and old and new melodies that present a classic singer-songwriter vibe.
