Jazz, Blues, & Swing in the Pacific Northwest

This coming weekend Holotradband will be appearing at the 1st annual Highline Vintage Jazz Festival held at Highline Performing Arts Center in Burien, WA.

Lance Haslund, a fine musician who has been a member of the Burien Arts Organization for a number of years, is serving as the festival director.

In addition to some forty years as a professional musician, Lance has promoted dozens of concerts covering a broad range of musical styles including piano soloists, jazz bands, bluegrass and country bands, vocal groups, and even a solo ukulele virtuoso.

There is a total of 8 different acts spread out over two 3-hour sessions.  Half the groups will play the matinee session;  the other half will play the evening show. You’ll want to see both shows since they’ll be completely different from each other.  The music will run virtually non-stop for each show, as the highly mobile and very entertaining Canote Brothers will handle the out-front entertainment during the transitions between the other acts.

The two shows will be separated by a sufficiently long break to get dinner, relax, and get ready for another fine session of vintage jazz.

Performers will include The Bulldog Brass Band, an all-star group of young musicians from Garfield High School, Pearl Django, Holotradband, The Jangles, Hot Club Sandwich, Paul Asaro, Casey MacGill’s Blue Four Trio, and Dina Blade
