It was a gorgeous warm day here in the greater Seattle area…and music lovers came out to celebrate and take in this talented line up brought by the folks at “No Depression”, Seattle Theatre Group(STG) and Live Nation…

Much fun, sun and music was had…

Headliners were Gillian Welch, and Sam Bean of Iron & Wine…Sam is a character…and Gilian is gorgeous, and closed the night with the crowd all coming up front to the stage to absorb the music up close and personal…

Marymoor Park is a gorgeous venue…trees in the background, and green all around…that is why we refer to hereabouts as the emerald city!

The show stealer was probably Justin Townes Earle with his southern charm and humor…skinny tall and animated, he was great fun to shoot!
