Back on it again - sorry for the short Hiatus - busy making life changes...if you like world and jazz music these are the artists you will want to see in Seattle. The World music scene is Seattle's best kept secret. The musicians are superb performers from around the world, working all the time while the MSM babbles on about Justin Beiber getting a DUI. Whatever...anyway, I respectfully submit to you much better opportunies to SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC (YAY!)
