Marcus Shriver – Screaming for an audience, Gin Wigmore embodied late heroines Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse as she captivated the Tractor Tavern on September 19. The New Zealand native has a touch of country influence chopped together with a bluesy grit.
Frida Ray – Last Saturday was my first foray into the delightfully relaxing community celebration that is the Macefield Music Festival. I had no expectations, though I had heard nothing but a flood of compliments about one of our city’s newest music events.
The 2015 Macefield Music Festival went down October 2-4 with more than 25 bands performing on stages at Conor Byrne, The Sunset and the Tractor Tavern.
Gemma Alexander – Edith Macefield became a local hero and a symbol of Old Ballard in 2006 when she refused to sell her house to developers. Macefield Music Festival, launched in 2013, honors her memory.
Friday Ray – Saying Goodbye to Kithkin was just as wonderful and difficult as I thought it would be.
