American Pop 60′s
Take a musical journey that spans from 1960, when Elvis was discharged from his Army duties, right through that crazy, rain-soaked event we all know as “Woodstock”, in 1969. A show with American Pop 60′s is a real “trip” down memory lane, featuring the sound track of the decade’s top songs.

Summer Januaries
The Summer Januaries formed two years ago, as a busking duo, playing fiddle tunes at Seattle’s Pike Place Market. They soon began injecting fiddle tunes into harmony laden arrangements of their favorite songs, and these inventive arrangements became the defining element of their sound. They have continued writing original music, and have performed at fairs, weddings, and street corners throughout the Pacific Northwest, and most recently in Italy, where they just completed a three month busking tour.
