Running 101 Clinic

Wednesday Aug 22nd

6:15 pm Group Run. We will host our Running 101 Clinic after our group run. The clinic is presented by P3|Running Coach and West Seattle Runner co-owner, Lori. We will cover proper running form, walk/run intervals and pacing, breathing, and running nutrition.

Whisky West has extended its bi-weekly presentation of Jeff Ferguson’s Triangular Jazztet. The band will continue to feature West Seattle guest players such as local blues stalwart Jeff Mason, iconoclastic/world-traveling/multi-instrumentalist, Amy Denio , and the always melodic guitarist, Bruce Barnard. Half of the band lives in West Seattle and the hope is to establish an ongoing venue for local players who deserve to be heard in their own neighborhood.

The Triangular Jazztet features Brian Flanagan on guitar, Orrin Sand on keyboard, Michael Grimes on bass, and Jeff Ferguson on drums. These seasoned musicians have performed a lively mix of original compositions, all-American standards, and popular favorites hundreds of times to appreciative Seattle audiences over the last seven years. Jazz lives in West Seattle!

As announced by the Admiral Neighborhood Association:
July 19th
URAL THOMAS AND THE PAIN
Ural Thomas started singing beneath his mother’s knee in church at the age of 3. By high school he led the doo-wop group the Mono Rays. Ural’s voice and songwriting soon gained national attention and he found himself sharing the stage with the likes of James Brown, Otis Redding, Johnny Guitar Watson, and “Little” Stevie Wonder. He played the Apollo 44 times. He backed the Northwest’s biggest soul and garage outfits of the 1960s (The Kingsmen, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Cavaliers Unlimited) and he never for a moment stopped teaching, singing and loving soul music.

July 26th
GOOD QUIVER
Good Quiver is a relatively new band, but the bandmates have a long and winding history playing music together, featuring high-school friends Ehssan Karimi on drums and West Seattle resident Martin Celt on bass. He and vocalist Katelyn Berreth have also been playing music together since high school. Their groovy, fresh sound is rooted in soul, jazz, funk, hip hop, and “everlasting friendship”!

August 2nd
MICAIAH SAWYER
Micaiah Sawyer is a prolific singer-songwriter from Olympia, playing a catchy blend of folk, blues and rock. Her relatable and wise-beyond-years lyrics quickly make an impression on the listener, connecting them with not just a piece of music, but with the artist herself. Armed with an accompaniment of energetic and talented musicians, Micaiah recently won the Sound Off 2018 competition hosted by Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture and KEXP 90.3 FM. She will be releasing her first full-length album this summer.

August 9th
GENERAL MOJO’S
General Mojo’s is a space-elevator ride of psychedelic pop, reminiscent of the past with all courses set for the distant future. Despite their light-hearted approach to stage presence and style, General Mojo’s provides a serious sound, collecting the hook-laden melodies and complex lucid solo sections evocative of Yes and Emerson Lake & Palmer. General Mojo’s plays both the loose and groovy rock you remember and a buttoned-down psychedelic sound you’ve never experienced before!

August 16th
THE SERVICE PROVIDERS
Labeled a “Superband” by The Stranger, the Service Providers are as mysterious as they are deeply rooted in the northwest music scene: “Not all bands are good. These ones are.” The Service Providers is a new project of Mike Musburger, Arthur Roberts (formerly of The Posies), Dave Fox, and Brian Naubert.

August 23rd
CASPAR BABYPANTS
Summer favorite Caspar Babypants will be back to sing songs for parents and kids ages 0-6 with a catchy simple sing-along good-time folk acoustic country rock-and-roll feel that will make you smile and dance at the same time.
