Jim Valley was an integral part of the 60s, from The Viceroys to Don & the Goodtimes and Paul Revere and the Raiders. Now on his own, he makes beautiful music for children of all ages.
35 years or so ago, give or take, Jef Jaisun wrote Friendly Neighborhood Narco Agent, and things have never been the same. Check out his home page, or go to jaisunphoto.com and check out some of his brilliant photography.
Alice Stuart and her band were voted Number One Blues Band by the Seattle Weekly in 2004. Find out why by visiting her site.
Tom Lewis Canadian transplant, was a submariner in the British Navy for 25 years, and brings his unique perspective to the maritime music he writes and sings. A great performer, he has several CDs for sale, and you'll find The Daily Flash as guest artists on one of them.
William Pint and Felicia Dale The Seattle Times listed Pint and Dale as "one of the country's finest maritime singing duets", but don't take the newspaper's word for it. Listen to them yourself! They're much more than just maritime music.
Janice Wagner is an amazing artist. Her work ranges from breathtaking wall-size murals to subtle and delicate flowers and watercolours. All of them are masterpieces.
Reggie Miles is a master of the musical saw and washboard. Reggie, with J.W. Weiss and the Flash's own Steve Lalor, performed as Tao Jones. He's a man of many talents, from Delta style bottleneck blues to harmonica and back to ragtime.
The Schooner Wawona is the last remaining ship of Seattle's huge commercial sailing fleet. She's in danger of eviction from her berth in S. Lake Union. We urge you to support keeping Wawona here in Seattle, where she belongs, and the efforts to restore her. To find out more about her and the ongoing efforts to save her, click the Wawona link, or go to the NW Seaport site.
Grinders Hot Sands has THE best east coast style grinders in the known universe. The beer and wine lists are inspired and extensive. Their bread pudding is to die for, and Mitch and his family are the nicest people you ever want to meet.
We'd like to find out where this guy came from so we could give whoever's responsible credit
