The Macefield Music Festival celebrated its second year last weekend in Ballard, with shows at The Tractor; a newly remodeled Sunset Tavern, Conor Byrne Pub, which serves as the musical club house for many neighborhood musicians and singer/songwriters throughout the year; Hattie’s Hat restaurant and bar; a vintage clothing shop called Lucky Dry Goods; Sonic Boom Records; and a re-purposed neighborhood space called the Macefield Market that served as the epicenter for the two day event.
With a KEXP-sponsored main stage out back behind Hattie’s that featured legendary Tacoma garage rockers the Sonics as well as a ton of other great bands in addition to the aforementioned venues, we had to send two photographers. Here are 30 of the best shots from Jim Toohey and Sunny Martini.
Veteran Seattle Rockers The Tom Price Desert Classic kicked things off on the KEXP main stage
The Bad Tenants. Yep, that’s a trombone.

Mark Pickerel sounded amazing and covered Lucinda Williams. Swoon.
Forget the drums and the songs and the voice, we just want Pickerel’s hair
Star Anna was fantastic

Everette guitar rock band Fauna Shade start things off on the main stage Saturday
