The Biggest Festival in the Northwest... Just Got Bigger!
2009 concert information
Seafair Saturday Night
Dusty 45s and $10 tickets!
 Seafair is thrilled to offer its fourth annual Saturday Night concert in Genesee Park, August 1 beginning at 6:45 p.m. and featuring hit sensation, The Dusty 45s!
No band delivers like the Dusty 45s. Mixing roots styles as various as honky-tonk, jump blues and rock and roll isn't easy. With the combination of classic elements of American music into a natural sound that is all their own - harmonizing over acoustic and electric guitars, drums and trumpet. The three-time "Best of Seattle" band, distinguished by Seattle Weekly readers, the Dusty 45s don't miss a beat.
Following The Dusty 45s, at 9:45 p.m. the Starfire Air Show Performance featuring pilot Bill Leff will ease Seafair fans from daytime racing and music to nighttime theatrics. Leff dazzles audiences with an airborne fireworks display, pyrotechnic effects and light show completely choreographed to music.
Rounding out the night, Seafair will electrify the evening with a fireworks display over the Unlimited Hydroplane race course. Feel the rumbling and witness the beauty as they illuminate the night sky above Lake Washington.
Tickets for the Seafair Saturday Night concert, air show and fireworks are only $10 after 5 p.m. at the event gate. Or purchase tickets in advance for a full day of action featuring Unlimited Hydroplane Racing, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels of course The Dusty 45s! through Ticketmaster (206) 628-0888.

SHIM |
We can skim over the faces and positions pretty quickly — Mike Notter, vox/guitar; Ragan Crowe, vox/guitar; Micah Simler, vox/bass; Jeremy Crowe, vox/drums; Adam Bily, keyboards — and we can get to what makes SHIM unique, what makes 'em matter - that catalog of throbbing, pounding, pulsating anthems, those classic rock sensibilities that flavor their most modern of rock, those flashing lights on the stage and that thick fog that nearly (nearly) engulfs them. SHIM has built themselves up by offering something on stage that few Seattle bands manage amidst their ultimate goal (“cool”) they are rock solid musicians and they are well-versed showmen. |
