SUMMARY:Moondance- Van Morrison Tribute at the Triple Door\, Seattle
DESCRIPTION:Moondance – Van Morrison Tribute\nFri\, Jul 3 @ 7:30PM \nMainstage Theatre\, 216 Union Street\, Seattle \n\n\nMoondance is a 5-star musical ensemble covering Van Morrison’s timeless up-tempo soulful\, rock\, blues anger for Steve Miller\, d Celtic ballads from the 1960’s to the present. We are a Seattle based band. The band’s performances capture the lyrical and rhythmic passion that has enchanted Van Morrison’s audiences throughout the years along with our all-star sound. Moondance has a fun\, engaging style that provides our audiences a connection to the “feel good magic” of Van Morrison’s music. \nMichael Clune\, the band leader who put Moondance together 5 years ago recalls his thoughts leading up to committing to Van Morrison’s music and legacy. “I always had super respect for the troubadours\, the songwriters with a soulful genuine delivery. I was moved by Van’s diversity of blues\, jazz\, rock\, and Americana styles\, his arrangements that were open to improvisation\, and his ability to tell a story with significant emotional depth.” Moondance is made up of 6 talented musicians that are experienced pros with big ears. Their 3 part vocal harmony arrangements and soloing expertise perform Van’s songs not only in a true tribute spirit\, but with their own musical expression that conveys a real time feeling to their audience. \n\n$20 General // $30 Premium

SUMMARY:The Fabulous Thunderbirds at the Triple Door\, Seattle
DESCRIPTION:The Fabulous Thunderbirds\nWed\, Jul 8 @ 7:30PM \nMainstage Theatre\, 216 Union Street\, Seattle \n\n\nFor over 30 years\, The Fabulous Thunderbirds have been the quintessential American band. The group’s distinctive and powerful sound\, influenced by a diversity of musical styles\, manifested itself into a unique musical hybrid via such barnburners as “Tuff Enuff” and “Wrap It Up”. Co-founder Kim Wilson\, the sole original member\, still spearheads the group as it evolves into its newest incarnation. \n“We started as a straight blues band”\, vocalist and harmonica player Wilson says. “We now incorporate a mixture of a lot of different styles. We’re an American music band and we’re much higher energy than we were before.” \n“To be in the T-Birds\, you need to understand the different styles of music and different ways of playing\,” Wilson comments. “You have to be willing to adopt a more contemporary style. The guys we have now are able to do that.” \nThe band continues to tour extensively\, in both the U.S. and Europe. Wilson is currently writing songs on his own\, with band members and other writers. \n\n$50 General // $60 Premium
