This year’s Summer Camp brought some AMAZING bands to Redmond Washington for an outdoor show that attracts people of all ages from all over Washington, Oregon, and even Canada! I showed up a little late thanks to the old 9-5, but was still able to catch some of the big bands. Every band I saw was awesome, and I either already had their album or ran out and bought it after the show. FUN. definitely brought a memorable performance by spraying confetti all over the crowd and lighting it up with all the colors of the rainbow! Check out some of the highlights below! (along with a little cheesy animated LOVE for the FUN. Fetti show Fun. put on)
Walk The Moon
Though they are often recognized for their hit single, “Anna Sun,” their full length self-titled album was available as of June this year, and is totally worth a listen (or 50).

Saturday evening cooled down while the audience settled back in their chairs to watch Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons open for Norah Jones at Marymoor Park in Redmond, just down the street from Microsoft. Chisel and his longtime collaborator Adriel Harris, are touring in support of their new album, Old Believer. They’ll finish their US tour at the end of the month, then it’s off to Europe for the month of September.
