Re: venues [Seattle]

Thanks for a great idea, Lorele!


Here are a few websites that might give you some leads for Seattle, WA:

Tractor Tavern
(somewhat funky but lots of national and local acts appear here)
http://www.tractortavern.com/
or
http://tractortavern.citysearch.com/
5213 Ballard NW
(206) 789-4250
Contact: Dan
>From the booking info at the above site:
MAIL DEMO PACKAGE [see web site for details] TO:
Tractor Tavern, Attn: Booking, 5213Ballard Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98107


Seattle Club Listing
http://www.americanmusic.com/seattle_club_listing.htm
Lots of venues here--a couple or so may be relevant.


A couple of nice smaller concert halls would be:

the 540-seat Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall at Benaroya Hall:
http://www.benaroyahall.com/
(a newer hall, right downtown--very live acoustics--some use the word
"unforgiving")

and

the auditorium at the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) (not elegant
but probably reasonably priced):
http://www.seattlehistory.org/
McEachern Auditorium (392 seats)
http://www.seattlehistory.org/FrontDesk/events.htm#Special%20Event%20Facilit
ies
Museum of History & Industry
McCurdy Park
2700 24th Avenue East
Seattle, Washington 98112-2099

You could also check out the Seattle Folklore Society site:

One idea would be looking into doing a house concert in Seattle. The SFS
site (above) has several links for house concerts at:
http://www.seafolklore.org/folknw.html
Check out the links, as I can't vouch for them myself. Here are the listings
(minus the links):

House Concert Series:
    Broadview, Seattle
    The Living Room, Lynnwood
    Maison Gateau, Phinney Ridge/Ballard
    Cat Hair, Wallingford
    The Living Room, Orcas Island
    Musi-Cal house concert search, Pacific Northwest
    Karen's, Edmonds
    Chez What?, Bellevue
    Winslow Cohousing Group, Bainbridge Island
    Leavenworth Coffeehouse


Looking forward to hearing about other places,

Sandra
