JOHN PRINE 80th Birthday Bashnanza

For the last 20 years, SpaceBand has been absolutely packing in crowds at venues around the region for their uptempo, party-friendly interpretations of those styles. You get a blend of hip-hop (everything from Sugarhill Gang and Tone Loc to Snoop Dogg and Tupac) with all generations of R&amp;B (from Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye to Blackstreet and Bruno Mars).&nbsp;Lead singer Brian Hillman jokes that since they’ve been together for so long, many of them have become fathers, so now they’re even throwing in some Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift for the kids. It’s a mix that has something to offer just about any listener, and that’s been reflected in the sizes of the crowds that come out to see them wherever they play.&nbsp;

Racoma Seattle-based band Racoma crafts a front porch soundscape where indie and folk influences intertwine, evoking a casual warmth like reconnecting with an old friend. Glenn Haider’s earnest vocals are complemented by Spencer Templeman’s dynamic drum sound and Sean Collopy’s lyrical guitar. Each person’s element is essential, like voices in the heartfelt conversations that make up Racoma’s songs. Their collective sound radiates human connection, with emotional depth that draws listeners in to reflect long after the music fades. Junaco Junaco's sophomore LP "In Motion" is a reflection of the bands' ever changing lives. Written during winter in Northern California, they were living together in one big circular structure - lighting the wood stove every morning, playing together for hours on end, hiking, sauna-ing, and getting in the icy river every night. In complete isolation and with limited access to the internet, the rest of the world felt far away, and the band was able to finally feel all of the change they had been in the midst of. Produced by the band and engineered by Mario Ramirez, the record features contributions by Oliver Hill, Tyler Chester, and more. Junaco worked closely with artist Drew Litowitz on the album cover, a collection of photos and vignettes that represent the change Junaco reflects on in the album. "In Motion" is a journey of growth, loss, and love; an experiment on what comes up when the noise dies down.

Together, they weave a rich tapestry of sound that pulls from the nostalgic echoes of yesteryear while infusing it with the fresh, innovative vibes of today’s hits.What sets "Poems" apart is their unique ability to blend genres, seamlessly merging elements from various musical styles to create something entirely original. Each song they craft is like a journey, taking listeners through ethereal soundscapes that evoke deep emotions and resonate long after the last note fades. Whether it's the haunting melodies or the thought-provoking lyrics, their music invites you to pause, reflect, and feel.Having performed at some of California’s most iconic venues — including Belly Up Tavern, The Music Box, The Viper Room, and Brick &amp; Mortar Music Hall — Poems continue to build strong momentum heading into 2026. With press coverage in magazines such as SPIN, EARMILK, and GENIUS, their summer West Coast tour is looking to turn heads.&nbsp;Sharing the stage with rising indie acts such as Never Ending Fall, Connor Kelly &amp; The Time Warps, and Arms Akimbo, the band is earning widespread attention for their electrifying live performances.

YOUNG DUBLINERS After thirty years as one of the world’s leading Celtic Rock bands, The Young Dubliners have begun work on their tenth studio album (with longtime producer Irish-born Tim Boland) while still maintaining their busy tour schedule. They have returned to the road post-pandemic stronger than ever and determined to bring their fusion of Celtic and rock music to as many people as they can. The band is Keith Roberts (vocals / guitar), Chas Waltz (Violin, keys, vocals), Justin Pecot (guitar, vocals), Dave Ingraham (drums) and Ethan Jones (bass guitar). With a batch of incredible new songs and an undeniable energy, the band is excited to bring their show to festivals, theaters and clubs around the world. “We want to be the band who reminds the world how important a good gig can be to our sanity after what we’ve all been through,” says Roberts. For only the second time the band is looking to its fans to finance the album instead of a traditional record company. “The business has changed so much over our lifetime that it no longer makes sense for us to take money from a label and then owe it all back,” adds Roberts. “Making all our supporters co-producers is a far more rewarding way to make a record and allows us to maintain control all the way”. The Young Dubliners have released nine albums to date. In recent years, the band has appeared twice on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, had songs featured in TV shows (Sons Of Anarchy, Human Target) and toured extensively as a headliner and as the opener for such a diverse list of artists as Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang, Los Lobos and Chris Issak. Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called Celtic Rock, that label can often be misleading. The Irish influence is certainly there, but it’s not the only influence that bursts through on their albums or live shows. After all, several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind. “That was always the idea,” Roberts said. “The sound was intended to be a hybrid because we all come from different backgrounds. Even though I am from Ireland, a lot of the music I listened to growing up wasn’t Irish at all, but when I got here, I got homesick and developed a new appreciation for Irish Music. In truth the Celtic riffs can just as easily come from the American band members. Everyone writes now so you never know what you’ll end up with.”

Whalien may be one of the most eclectic groups you’re ever likely to hear. They’re rooted in the jam band scene, so if you’re looking for long jams, they’ve got those for sure. But they also bounce across innumerable other genres.&nbsp;At any given moment, their music might sound like country, ska, disco, jazz fusion, hard rock or something entirely new. It’s all going to be danceable, though, as long as you’re in the right frame of mind.&nbsp;Whalien embraces an aesthetic of bright colors, with lots of glitter and sparkle (and some seriously bizarre hats). If the darkness and gloom of the winter are getting you down, the energy and excitement of a show like this might be just what you need.

DJ WILL

Pat Travers was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. Soon after picking up the guitar at age 12, he saw Jimi Hendrix perform in Ottawa. Travers began playing in bands early in his teens; his first bands were the Music Machine (not to be confused with the Californian psychedelic/garage band of the same name), Red Hot, and Merge, which played in clubs in the Quebec area. While performing with Merge, he was noticed by rock artist Ronnie Hawkins, who invited Travers to perform with him. In his early twenties Travers moved to London and signed a recording contract with the Polydor label.[2] His self-titled debut album was released in 1976, and featured bassist Peter "Mars" Cowling, who would become a mainstay in Travers' band for several years.[2] An appearance on the German TV show Rockpalast in November 1976 was later released on DVD under the title Hooked on Music. This performance showcases an early version of Travers' band featuring Cowling and drummer During 1977, Travers added a second guitarist to his band, changed drummers twice including using Clive Edwards, and by the time Heat in the Street was released in 1978 had put together the Pat Travers Band.[2] This grouping featured Travers on vocals and guitar, Pat Thrall on guitar, Cowling on bass, and Tommy Aldridge on drums and percussion.[2] The band toured heavily, also supporting Rush on their Drive til You Die tour in support of A Farewell to Kings. The guitar Travers most often appeared with on stage and on album covers in the band's early years was a 1964/65 model double cutaway, double [humbucker] pickup Gibson Melody Maker. The band's next release was a live album entitled Live! Go for What You Know, which charted in the Top 40 in the United States and included the tune "Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)" (originally recorded by Little Walter, credited to Stan Lewis), which climbed even higher on the charts, entering the Top 20. "Snortin' Whiskey" was a major American radio hit from 1980's Crash and Burn. After an appearance before 35,000 people at the Reading Music Festival in England, both Thrall and Aldridge announced they were leaving the band to pursue other projects.[2] Travers and Cowling teamed up with drummer Sandy Gennaro and released Radio Active[2] that same year. A co-headlining tour with Rainbow followed, and the two bands performed in major arenas across North America. Although the tour was Travers' most successful road outing, the Radio Active album barely made it into the Top 40, reaching only number 37. It was much different than Travers' previous work, with more emphasis on keyboards than heavy guitars. Disappointed with the lack of sales, Polydor dropped Travers from their roster, and he in turn sued the record company on grounds that he was under contract with them to record more material. He won the lawsuit, and was able to release Black Pearl in 1982. This release also featured more mainstream music rather than the hard-driving rock Travers had recorded earlier, and included the hit single "I La La La Love You", featured prominently on mainstream Top 40 and album oriented rock stations, and in the 1983 movie Valley Girl. Hot Shot was Travers' last major label release of original music, and was a return to a harder-edge style of rock than his previous two albums had been. One of Travers' best-recorded projects, it went basically unnoticed and is best remembered for the single "Killer". It was during this time that Travers also released Just Another Killer Day, a 30-minute home video featuring music from Hot Shot that was a sci-fi type short story about sexy alien women searching for information on music here on earth. In 1984, Travers was again supporting Rush. Alex Lifeson is one of Travers' many admirers. A

<img style="text-align: start" src="https://www.zepparella.com/images/bio-banner-2.png" alt="Photo by Matt Granz">PHOTO BY MATT GRANZHow to honor the legacy of a band deemed sacred? To tread on holy ground is perilous, and must be done with the intent and spirit of a disciple—Pay attention to the intricacies of the magic, explore the far ends of the innovation, strive for ever-growing ability, and let the purity of the love for the music drive it all.Drummer Clementine is the founding member of ZEPPARELLA. From the beginning of her musical career, her goal has been to be onstage every night. The pursuit of that goal has led Clementine to constantly tour the US and Europe in projects as diverse as Bottom, AC/DShe, The House Of More, The Solid, Francis Bakin, Stars Turn Me On and Beaux Cheveux. She tackles the best rock drumming ever written with her own emotionally powerful style, bringing the Motown influence of the Bonham groove to the forefront. The profound musical connection established with Gretchen Menn (guitar), Holly West (bass), and Anna Kristina (vocals) creates the bond required to do this great music justice.It was under the tutelage of classical guitarist Phillip DeFremery, a student of Andrés Segovia, that guitarist Gretchen Menn began her path on the instrument. Playing with tireless passion and constantly seeking out new challenges, her projects are often unconventional, genre-bending expressions combining elements of classical, rock, progressive, jazz, and metal. On influences, Gretchen has never tired of her initial inspirations—Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Frank Zappa, and Jeff Beck. But she has loved Jimmy Page’s guitar playing longer than she has played the guitar. It was through the music of Led Zeppelin that she found a gateway into music that resonated deeply with her, creating a love for guitar-oriented music, and, ultimately, the guitar.Bassist Holly West began her musical journey full-steam ahead, and more recently than her stellar playing belies. Her unstoppable will and drive have truly propelled her to this moment and her place in the powerhouse Zepparella. A self-taught bass player, she is also a blossoming vocalist with rich rock pipes. Her time on stage has been well spent, developing an impressive attack, impeccable feel, and a technique which seems to have come completely naturally to her, not to mention her dazzling stage presence and joyful performance style. Her influences span the rock gauntlet, from Clutch and the Rival Sons to Slash, ZZ Top, and of course, the mighty Zeppelin.Singer Anna Kristina is a soulful, fiery, and rocking vocal powerhouse who has stepped into Zepparella’s Plant spot for a second time. Anna was with the band for 5 years, became known for her performance in the band’s 15 million-view “When The Levee Breaks” video, took a 6-year hiatus, and now returns in 2018 to front the band. Her career has spanned acoustic, jazz, soul, rock, and her charisma and power delivers captivating performances every night. About her brilliant harp playing she says: “getting a chance to blow on the harmonica is an added bonus! Plant isn’t just a singer he’s a musician. He brings his blues background and natural percussive feel to his harmonica playing as well and I love getting lost in that. Playing the harp allows me to express on a whole different level and it’s so freeing.”Now more than ever, Zepparella explores their own improvised magic within the framework of Zeppelin’s mighty songs

The Cascadian Divide was born in early 2020 during the COVID lockdown as a fun side project for our lead singer, Tim de la Norton, who had never before sung in a band. What started as an experiment soon evolved into a full-blown passion for all of us. The original lineup was a merger of the bands Longward and Regional Faction, and we drew inspiration from 90s skate-punk mixed with melodic pop-punk and harmonic hardcore.&nbsp;Recently, we were fortunate to find our current drummer, Sky Richford, who is an absolute powerhouse and a perfect fit for the band. Earlier in 2023, we said goodbye to both Jeff Schellhase (our first bassist) and Tyler Hoggatt (our first lead guitarist), but fate smiled upon us when we met our new bassist, Mike Campbell, and our new lead guitarist, Geoff Rey.Through it all, we've remained committed to making fast, melodic punk rock that's influenced by the skate punk and pop punk of the 90s and 2000s. Our sound is raw, energetic, and full of heart. Fans of Pennywise, Bad Religion, NOFX, Lagwagon, and Propagandhi will feel right at home with our music.

THE CASCADIAN DIVIDE

Mike Frazier:&nbsp;Mike Frazier hails from the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia but relocated to Seattle, Washington in 2022 with his wife, and author Stephanie Bruno. Frazier spent the last decade touring relentlessly, and releasing half a dozen records. Since his move to Seattle he has continued to tour around the United States. Frazier is carrying on the tradition of record craft with a focus on authentic songwriting and high quality production. Frazier draws inspiration from the valley he grew up in, his travels around the world, protest movements, and the classic folk music storytelling he is so deeply inspired by.Rainshadower:&nbsp;Rainshadower is excited to announce Charred Scars (out 11/21), the debut LP from the musical endeavor led by multi-instrumentalist and longtime Pacific Northwest mainstay, A. Ball. Over the past many years, Ball has played an integral role in the fabric of the Seattle area music scene, lending his talent to multiple albums, shows, and tours in bands such as Cumulus, the Cops, Idiot Pilot, the Saturday Knights, Virgin Islands, Police Teeth, Dryland, and many others. Charred Scars represents Ball’s first foray into releasing music as a solo artist. This beautiful album draws from his life experience and the natural melancholic beauty of the Cascade Mountains and surrounding forests he grew up exploring. Rainshadower’s Charred Scars is an aural window into the transcendent beauty of the Pacific Northwest. A poetic examination of universal themes that will resonate with listeners whether they are looking inward or outward, as Ball explores both the natural world that surrounds us and the deepest corners of the mind.Cumulus: We’ve Got It All, &nbsp;via&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.shareitmusic.org/">Share It Music</a>, marks the fourth album by Cumulus, the songwriting project of Alexandra Lockhart and William Cremin. Cumulus has evolved over the years while scooping up praise from the likes of&nbsp;Stereogum,&nbsp;Interview,&nbsp;Consequence,&nbsp;PASTE,&nbsp;Under The Radar,&nbsp;KEXP,&nbsp;Brooklyn Vegan,&nbsp;Atwood Magazine,&nbsp;Seattle Weekly,&nbsp;The Stranger, and&nbsp;NPR Music’s All Songs Considered. What started out as the sole endeavor of Lockhart has grown into something of a duo, with Cremin fully taking on co-writer and co-producer roles for the songs on&nbsp;We’ve Got It All. The lead single “Simple” is an ode to the seemingly less chaotic and fraught John Hughesian past of the 80s and early 90s. “Will it ever be that simple again?” ask Lockhart and Cremin as they harmonize together on the chorus.&nbsp;Written in between long drives and voice memos, solo walks in the woods, and writing sessions in a cozy Seattle basement practice space,&nbsp;We’ve Got It All&nbsp;is a reflection on the most important things in life that carry us through the most difficult times. It is songs inspired by childhood friendships, a hello from a neighbor, bookish escapes, winding highways, family connection, and of course, always, music.

One of the wilder bands operating in the psychobilly genre, Nekromantix employ a lethal blend of punk rock and rockabilly with a horror-themed twistD.O.A., the Men of Action, will tour the world this year and the band's devoted fans can't wait. D.O.A. founder Joey "Shithead" Keithley, Canada's godfather of punk recently said "You can't stop D.O.A., a lot of people have tried and failed miserably, so don't waste your time! Ha Ha!"Joe is backed up by D.O.A.'s powerful rhythm section, which is Paddy Duddy (drums) and Mike Hodsall (bass), this trio have played together for the last nine years. Over D.O.A.'s history, the band has played over 4,000 shows on 5 different continents in 50 different countries.D.O.A. started out in a whirlwind of controversy and upheaval. In 1978 three guys' fresh out of high school: Joey Shithead, Chuck Biscuits and Randy Rampage joined the punk rock revolution in February 1978. But they soon realized that there were no record deals coming any time soon. Joey, who was working towards being a civil rights lawyer before he found punk rock, concluded that the band had to take the Do It Yourself approach long before D.I.Y. became popular.So he formed a fledging record label called Sudden Death Records and the label released D.O.A.'s first snarling slab of vinyl, the Disco Sucks 7" EP. Disco Sucks soon became an underground hit and the band started touring far and wide.In 1980 Joey Shithead coined the term "hardcore" The band soon released their landmark album Hardcore 81 . The album became a hit and the hardcore movement took off and D.O.A. pushed that expression into our common vernacular.Over the last four decades D.O.A. have released 18 studio albums and sold well over a million albums. The band's albums, shows and attitude has won over three generations of fans and influenced the likes of Guns and Roses, Green Day, Nirvana, Offspring, Henry Rollins, David Grohl and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, to name a few. Joe has also found time to write two books:I Shithead: A Life in Punk and TALK - ACTION = O.From day one, D.O.A. helped organize and lead hundreds of benefit concerts and protests for good and just causes: women's rights, food bank benefits, First Nations rights, union and environmental issues. They also have organized concerts that have taken a stand against war, racism and weapons proliferation, to name a few issues they have stood up to. In 2019D.O.A.'s seminal album Hardcore 81 was named one of Canada's all-time great musical accomplishments.Canada's CBC Polaris awards named it one of the best albums of all time, beating the likes of Sarah McLaughlin, The Band, KD Laing and other notable artists.Throughout the past 45 years, the press have referred toKeithley as a cultural politician, trying to change the world from outside the system. As well, many have comparedJoe to a modern day Woody Guthrie as he is always looking for a way to stand up for the average person just like his idols Woody and Pete Seeger. Well my friends, Joe got elected in October 2018 as a city councillor in his home town of Burnaby. There is new documentary about this transition in the works called Something Better Change.Director Scott Crawford (Salad Days and Boy Howdy) and producer Paul Rachman (American Hardcore) have been documenting Joe's journey through politics and music. It is scheduled for release in 2024.Joe is now changing the system from the inside. He has worked to provide affordable housing, helping the disadvantaged and creating a truly sustainable future. Joe was recently re-elected to second term as city councillor in October 2022.So that in a few words is D.O.A. When they take their wild, unbridled show live show on the road, it's a must see, because this is one of the last real punk rock bands that still gets out there and kicks ass and tells it like it is. It's always an atmosphere of chaos, veering out of control, but somehow, at the last minute, D.O.A. manages to steer it all in the right direction, so you end up witnessing an incredible event.And in an indescribable way, you are not quite the same afterwards tThe Rumours are a rock band based out of Waterloo, IA. The once, straight-up Rock N Roll band finally made-out with Punk -- leaving you beggin' for more with their Kick-In-The-Face look &amp; sound.

From the infectious indie disco of "Who Is Michael" to the cinematic 80s blockbuster film-inspired "Wastelander" and the Eagles-esque harmonies of "Forbidden Love," Checker Bloom's music is both wildly entertaining and thought-provoking.Finely tuned and sharp after years of touring, Checker Bloom has shared the stage with prominent acts like Wine Lips, Art de'Ecco, Petite Amie, and starting to crack onto regional festival&nbsp;circuits.

<h2 style="text-align: start">PRESENTING THE MIGHTY HAIR NATION!</h2>For over a decade Hair Nation has been the Northwest’s premier 80’s Rock tribute band. &nbsp;Hair Nation recreates the experience of the mid-80’s rock and roll scene with authentic live performances, 80’s era outfits, and a swagger that harkens back to a time when men looked like women, and the women looked like, well…. &nbsp;even hotter women!&nbsp; Hair Nation have traveled far and wide, playing exclusive dates on the east coast, up and down the west coast, in Lake Havasu, at the Hard Rock Hotel Lake Tahoe, and at The House of Blues in Las Vegas.&nbsp; They’ve even taken the party as far north as Juneau Alaska, and as far south as Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.&nbsp; These guys have been around….. Literally!&nbsp;

Join us for a night of good times and only good vibes, as AJ hosts Bellingham’s best karaoke!
