The Pacific Northwest’s own Bikini Kill plays the final date of their tour at Marymoor Park on September 17th. Original members Kathleen Hanna, Kathi Wilcox and Tori Vail – plus guest guitarist Sara Landeau -bring their Riot Grrrl culture to music and, well, their philosophy to the party. This makes Bikini Kill especially welcome in their hometown area, where the whole movement began. While they are beloved all over, the Pacific Northwest has a remaining affinity for punk and feminism: We’re Bikini Kill and we want Revolution Girl-style now! Tickets are available here.

Local singer-songwriter Annie J headlined at the High Dive.  She and her talented five-member band performed songs from her new EP, Get Back, as well as several covers.  Seattle artists Brittany Danielle and Natalie Mai Hall came onstage during one song to dance along with Annie. In addition to a great voice, Annie was equally skilled on the piano and flute.

What a perfect night for an outdoor concert!  Country singer-songwriter Maren Morris headlined for a full house at Marymoor Park on a clear and mild evening.  Morris and her six-member band performed new material from her recent Humble Quest album as well as her numerous multi-platinum singles.  Brittney Spencer opened.

Soulful R&B singer-songwriter Sabrina Claudio brought her Based On A Feeing global tour to the Moore Theater.  The show had a dramatic beginning when the center stage door opened and she made her grand entrance.  The four-member backing band performed flawlessly on the second show of the tour.  At one point, Sabrina received flowers from an admirer in the audience.
