History House of Greater Seattle is pleased to announce that it will once again host a free and open-to-the public summer music series in its covered, outdoor Sculpture Garden. This is our 6th season. Developed in association with Producer John Nordstrand, the program will include some of Puget Sound's best acoustic musicians. These singles, duos, trios and more along with the unpredictable and semi-spontaneous addition of friends will perform an eclectic repertoire of genres ranging from original to traditional folk to new age to maritime chanteys to logging to Celtic and Irish to international to blues to ragtime to jug to bluegrass to just plain zany.
This is a collaborative effort. John Nordstrand has assembled for History House a wonderful mixture of over 30 musical artists who will provide entertaining, often humorous and thought provoking performances. Scheduled musicians include Michael Guthrie, Bob Nelson, Larry & Lynette, Percy Hilo & Friends, Silver Lining, Down the Road, Eric Miller Band, Burgundy Pearl, The Hayburners, Larry Murante, Kevin Jones, Hounds@Bay, THE other Band, Eric Apoe, The Whateverly Brothers, Watch the Sky and more. They will present their work in the warm, family atmosphere of History House's covered outdoor Sculpture Garden.
A special “Victory Music Day in the Sculpture Garden” will occur Saturday, June 19th. This concert featuring four bands presented by the Victory Music organization which will perform before (10am-noon) and after (2-4pm) the famous Fremont Solstice Parade which will pass in front of the History House Sculpture Garden.
The History House Sculpture Garden - nestled inside a robust floral and foliage green space - includes an original 6 foot X 12 foot chunk of "The Berlin Wall", a "Fire Engine" - destined for Georgia in the former satellite state of the Soviet Union, "Willy"- a flying 15 foot model orca whale, "The Safe" - discovered beneath the Dubliner Tavern and the Gears from the Fremont Bridge. All of these items and more surround the stage that is the pedestal for the Music in the Sculpture Garden music series.
