Ball of Wax 49 Release Show
w/Who Is John Smith, Caroline Keys, Robert Deeble, Michele Khazak
Saturday, August 19, 9pm
Conor Byrne Pub
In case the drought conditions and ludicrous temperatures hadn’t already alerted you to the fact, I am here to tell you that summer is here. And soon enough, the Summer 2017 installment of Ball of Wax Audio Quarterly will be unleashed upon the world, packed with 19 assorted musical gems from Seattle and beyond – perhaps including your personal song of the summer. (Watch this space for our track reviews, which will be rolling out from now until the release date.)
As always, a musical celebration is in order. Join us at Conor Byrne for a delightfully diverse evening of music. Michele Khazak will entrance us at the piano with her spellbinding songs; Ball of Wax mainstay Robert Deeble will bring in some string players to help him preview some songs from his long-awaited new album, Beloved; Caroline Keys and co. will haul across the mountains from Missoula to share their subtle, moody take on Americana with us; and Who Is John Smith will bring the sounds of West African palm wine music to a beer-soaked room in Ballard.
Don’t miss it!
