Pearl Django with a performance history spanning more than 30 years and having released 15 CDs, PD is one of the most highly regarded Hot Club, Gypsy jazz groups working today. Over their history, Pearl Django has been featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered", played at the prestigious Festival Django Reinhardt in Samois sur Seine, as well as festivals, dances and nightspots throughout the U.S. and abroad. The band’s signature style is marked by pristine and dexterous string work, colors of Bal Musette, the steady pulse of rhythm guitar and an unmistakable swing that delights audiences of all musical sensibilities.

Playtonics, de facto led by Paige Hansen, 88.5 KNKX-FM radio host, formed in 2018 after a summer filled with farmer's market gigs playing jazz, rock, and some originals. She lives in the Tacoma area and you can also find her supporting her son Quinn at Cheney Stadium where he's a game day greeter -- "Go Rainiers!" The 5 piece jazzy soul pop band brings heart, soul and beat!

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt68hLX8gNg&list=PPSV" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">DUBLIN ABBEY</a> folk-rock with Irish Passion! The Seattle-based band has played venues and festivals across the US with airplay on radio stations and podcasts from Seattle to Ireland and many places in-between. From originals to time honored traditional, and array of cover tunes from the likes of the Beatles, Elvis, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, the Cranberries, and more – Dublin Abbey weaves lyrical narratives that both entrance and enchant... all amid an engaging theatrical show. Members have played with bands nationally including shows that opened for notable acts like the Psychedelic Furs.
