From tonight’s Admiral Neighborhood Association meeting: Our area’s premiere summer outdoor-music series, Summer Concerts at Hiawatha, is a go for this year, its eighth year, and coordinator Katy Walum is ready to start hearing from musicians interested in applying to be on the six-show slate.

Here are the basics for the series, which is free to concertgoers, who bring their own seating/blankets/etc. to the east lawn at Hiawatha Community Center:

*Six Thursday nights, starting July 21st
*The 6:30 pm shows run about an hour and a half, with an opportunity for a 10-minute break

To apply, e-mail info@admiralneighborhood.org with information including:

*Band/performer name
*Description of your music
*Requested fee for 90-minute performance
*Web address where video of your music can be seen
*Staging or sound requirements

The series has generally featured musicians performing their own music. Here are our reports with the lineup announcements from the past four years – a wide range of genres:

*2015
*2014
*2013
*2012

Also, ANA’s Dave Weitzel is rounding up sponsors again this year. Use that same e-mail address if your business is interested in backing the series. (WSB has sponsored Summer Concerts at Hiawatha every year since the start in 2009, and we’ve already signed up again.)

     Greetings!

    We are the Rat City Brass, and we’re Seattle’s premier Herb Alpert Tijuana Brass cover band! Along with Herb’s music, we do songs from Dean Martin, Henry Mancini along with instrumental favorites from the 1960s. To priview our music you can visit our website at
    ratcitybrass.com or go to youtube

    We are a seven piece band consisting of a four piece rhythm section and two trumpets and one trombone. We are professional musicians who both teach and perform. Our fee for a 90 minute set would be $700. Our staging and sound requirements are quite simple as we would just need a PA for playing into and talking to the crowd, and the guitar/bass/keys use amps that could be direct into the PA or straight ahead toward the front of the stage.
    If this sounds like something you’d like to pursue please contact us and we can take it from there!
     
    Thanks, hope to hear from you soon,
    Steve Smith
