http://www.jetcityredhead.jankeiraknox.com Bringing you Seattle's music, arts & culture Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:27:14 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Though the weather wasn't as summery as we all wished, it was nice enough but for the rain today.  The bands rocked & music filled the air and the artists totally did their thing. Just the way it's supposed to be. Bumbershoot outdid itself this time.  Until next year~ http://www.jetcityredhead.jankeiraknox.com/2010/09/07/bumbershoot-2010-40th-anniversary/ I can't believe SeaFair is here in Seattle, next up will be Bumbershoot over Labor Day weekend...man! this year has zoomed by so far.  Lots of badass acts coming to town, including Bob Dylan as headliner.  Check out the 40th Annual Bumbershoot lineup at: http://bumbershoot.org/ My apologies for no posts since ... http://www.jetcityredhead.jankeiraknox.com/2010/08/07/seafair-weekend-bumbershoot-not-far-behind/ Seems like the winter has passed, spring has sprung and summer, after this weekend, is unofficially on its way. Sasquatch is happening this weekend - big doin's over at The Gorge in Washington.  The photos and stories will be appearing all over many music blogs across the country.  Some of my ... http://www.jetcityredhead.jankeiraknox.com/2010/05/31/memorial-day-weekend/ Just a little slightly belated (April 21) happy birthday note to the most famous monarch - Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Just trolling on the Interweb for interesting bits, I ran across this link about the royal family: http://www.royal.gov.uk/Home.aspx (it's official) http://www.jetcityredhead.jankeiraknox.com/2010/04/29/happy-84th-birthday-your-majesty/ As most of you know, I am open-minded and have and will cover just about any type of show, but I've never covered country music.  The reason for that is having a father who loved, loved, loved Lester Flat & Earl Scruggs, so I had my fill of country music ... http://www.jetcityredhead.jankeiraknox.com/2010/04/04/gone-country-blaine-larsen-at-hard-rock-cafe-seattle/ I'm not talking about being direction challenged, nor films, or even Jimmy McHugh & Chet Baker, I'm talking about the charming, indie band Let's Get Lost with frontmen and songwriting duo Nick Shadel (piano/vocals) and Peter Kowalczyk (guitar/vocals) (fka The Bedouin Jacks), now +/- a few, who had their swanky ... http://www.jetcityredhead.jankeiraknox.com/2010/03/25/lets-get-lost-new-cd-rotten-apples/ Lots of great music out there people.   I hope to be getting a few things together for you in the very near future - for starters, hopefully a bit about Rishloo and also something about Let's Get Lost (fka The Bedouin Jacks).  Yahoooooo! Scarlet Room has some potential and I ... http://www.jetcityredhead.jankeiraknox.com/2010/02/17/twenty-ten/ Last year was a fabulous year in many ways especially in music.  There was so much fabulous music it was hard for me to come up with a list like I usually do.  So much, in fact, and so many things going on, that my list never was finished.  I ... http://www.jetcityredhead.jankeiraknox.com/2010/01/29/the-best-of-the-best/ It is really difficult to believe that 2009 is winding down.  Thanksgiving is a wonderful way to celebrate the year in retrospect because of that thankful spirit rather than the end-of-the-year recap which is usually just about events.  Nothing wrong with that, just different perspectives. Indeed, this year has been full ... http://www.jetcityredhead.jankeiraknox.com/2009/11/28/thankful-times-upcoming-holidays/ I can recall reading this book over and over again to both of my children.  I knew it by heart and, at times, kind of grew weary of reading it.  Now that I have a grandson, I will be reading the story to him no doubt (when he's a little ... http://www.jetcityredhead.jankeiraknox.com/2009/10/26/where-the-wild-things-are-by-maurice-sendak/
