Bumbershoot is known for making a big thing out of announcing their annual lineup for the Labor Day weekend festival. This year, they chose to do so by throwing a Prom night featuring music from Seattle’s Soul King, Allen Stone, at the Crocodile in Belltown. Stone, currently on a world tour, came back home to play the show, and played two sold out Prom night shows. Two hundred couples each night were serenaded by Stone and his band. The crowd was also entertained before and after the show by a house DJ, who played many other traditional Prom night tracks. During the intermission of the first night, this year’s Bumbershoot lineup was announced via a video. They also held a Prom King and Queen competition where the crowd voted for the winners. Stone is continuing to tour until later this fall, when he will take a short break to begin working on his next album. Bumbershoot is slated for Aug 31 and Sept 1-2, with tickets available here.

The sultry, seductive chemistry of the Canadian husband-wife duo, Whitehorse, enraptured the crowd during Wednesday night’s intimate performance at the Tractor Tavern. On the tail end of their North American tour, Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet showcased singles from their new album The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss.

A capella powerhouse, quintet Pentatonix, were here in Seattle on Saturday evening for an appearance at Seattle’s Showbox SoDo. With a debut album and a holiday release already in hand, we’re expecting album number two out very soon. The band’s bio sums up the incredible opportunities such a group of people have: “They will continue to create new music, consistently testing any and every preconception of what vocal music is and just how big it can be.” Yes! Enjoy some exclusive shots by photographer Josh Daniels of the Seattle appearance:
