Sorry to be a little late pushing this week's gigs out to y'all. Great stuff, and lots of it again this week. With this weather there's plenty of opportunities outdoors and indoors to enjoy some of the truly great world and jazz talent Seattle has. Find some gigs you want to go to, call your buddies and get out there. Remember, you make the scene happen. When you go to a show, the scene grows. If you sit at home, the scene shrinks. It really is that simple. So do your part to help make Seattle a great(er) music town!
