In its first show of the new year, and fourth show since its incarnation, First Wednesday Sessions at Jazzbones in Tacoma is on its way to becoming a local favorite.
"Normally a Wednesday night at Jazzbones brings in maybe a dozen people," says Raymond Hayden of Maurice The Fish Records, who hosts Sessions, "with our first concert series we had 38 people, then 58 and our last one had 103 people. You can see that it's building."
The all-ages events showcase some of the best the Pacific Northwest talent, including established musicians as well as young up-and-comers. The performers are all in the rock vein, with tonight bringing a blues/funk lean featuring Strangely Alright, Vividal and Charles Mack.
February brings in more straight rock, including old-school Late September Dogs and Rikk Beatty Band and new-school Audentia, featuring 16-year-old Jasmine Parker, who sings with a voice far beyond her years. March brings a country/southern rock vibe with Jessica Lynn, The Tin Man Band and The Moss Brothers.
"Jazzbones and Maurice may promote the shows," says Hayden, "but it's not just for us. It's for the fans. It's for the bands. It's for everybody."
FIRST WEDNESDAY SESSIONS, w/Strangely Alright, Vividal and Charles Mack, 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 8, $5, Jazzbones, 2803 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, $5, 253.396.9169
