Summer Concerts at Hiawatha 2011 slate unveiled by Admiral Neighborhood Association

Also from Tuesday night’s Admiral Neighborhood Association meeting: ANA president Katy Walum announced who’s playing this year’s Summer Concerts at Hiawatha, one of which is actually at Alki:

JULY 28, THE GOTHARD SISTERS They fiddle, they dance, they sing.

AUGUST 4, MASSY FERGUSON: Rockin’ local faves – the clip above is from their West Seattle Summer Fest concert last year.

AUGUST 11, YOGOMAN BURNING BAND (this concert’s at Alki) “Happy hardcore, ska, soul” is how they describe their music online.

AUGUST 18, LEROY BELL AND HIS ONLY FRIENDS. Longtime songwriter now singing his own songs.

AUGUST 25, CASPAR BABYPANTS: Needs no introduction.

SEPTEMBER 1, STAR ANNA AND THE LAUGHING DOGS. “Alt-country, rock, Americana” is their self-description.

The concerts are free, as ANA has rounded up another slate of sponsors (once again including WSB); they’re outdoors, bring your own chair/blanket, and more details, such as available refreshments, will be available as the season gets closer.

    Thanks nbp! I’ve never heard of Yogoman Burning Band so I watched the video and loved it! I also instantly recognized that it was filmed in Bellingham – my hometown… loved that, too! His music sounds fun and I bet he gets the kids (and adults) really dancin’ for sure. Count me in for that concert! :)

    Saw the Gothard Sisters in a Christmas concert with local musician Geoffrey Castle. Maybe they’ll bring him along…6 string electric guitar. The sisters are very talented. And..Leroy Bell and His Only Friends are absolutely terrific. They’re at the Triple Door this weekend, both Friday and Saturday night. Rick Novito, a local West Seattle-ite, was their lead guitarist for quite some time. Rick passed away in early 2008. LeRoy and his friends have opened for BB King, Etta James, LeAnn Rimes, and others. I’m so excited that they’ll be here in WS, just down the street from where I live :) Go – you’ll love him..and them…

    correction…had a little brain fade there…Geoffrey Castle, who has appeared with the Gothard Sisters, plays the 6 string electric VIOLIN…I knew that :)
