As part of the grand plan to revitalize Seattle’s central waterfront, the city is considering a summer concert or event series at Waterfront Park in 2012. That lonely pier between Miner’s Landing and Seattle Aquarium hosts a handful of free Out to Lunch concerts each year—a crowd of about 40 (happily) stood in the rain to watch Star Anna and the Laughing Dogs in July —but the new proposal is bigger, better. It involves a barge.
Waterfront Seattle tweeted a request yesterday for ideas —they’re looking at you, Seattle bands/dancers/theaters/artists. One suggestion, for a concert series, would stage shows on a floating barge parked just off the pier. The audience would hang out on said pier, possibly with a beer in hand (alcohol is permitted in certain parts of the park). So… Concerts at the Mural on Fridays, and Concerts at the Barge on Thursdays? I could get into that.

We want to see The Cabiri ove the water!
Agreed, Mark. The Cabiri would be a fantastic show to see at the waterfront park this summer. They’ve got a cool outdoor aerial dance stage and everything!
moondoggies and hey marseilles – plus a shuttle and reduced parking fees, that should do the trick
I second the Cabiri. with a pro rigger on board, they’re going to use that space like you couldn’t imagine. :)
Something kid-friendly! Circus? Caspar Babypants?
Gail Pettis (jazz singer)
I’d love to see Cabiri on the waterfront. I really can’t imagine a more beautiful setting.
Los Lobos, Bill Frisell, The VooDudes
Dave Mathews of course!!
The Cabiri- awesome local talent that is both beautiful and unusual.
Moondoggies definitely. Portland Cello Project, Mike Doughty, Trombone Shorty!
the dodos, fanfarlo, moondoggies, pickwick, the maldives, mealfrog, the list goes on and on.
Love to see Adele, and local talent Dusty 45’s.
Regret Night (from Denver)
Sorry – I didn’t know it went thru more than once – I got a message saying I’d mistyped the very-hard-to-read spam protector
Emi Meyer – Local jazz vocalist & pianist who performs and makes music in Seattle, LA and Tokyo. Has a beautiful soothing voice, if I closed my eyes I could hear a little bit of Norah Jones and Sheryl Crow. If you’re looking for a mellow-ish performance, maybe something at sunset on a weeknight, she would be fantastic. Has a pretty supportive local following also.
Another is Mycle Wastman (R&B and soul singer) a fantastic local favorite who always puts on a good show
And for the blues fans, Ayron Jones. Might as well be Jimmy’s little brother. This young brotha works his magic on the guitar and his voice can transport you to another time and place.
My $.02 :)
