It’s no surprise that the city that gave the world Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana rocks to the beat of great music, and while Seattle’s legacy may be grunge, the city’s venues leave no musical stone unturned. The power of live music to make folks feel good is on full display at a host of Seattle night clubs. If listening to bands and vocalists show off their skills is how you like to spend an evening, you’ll find that Seattle does things right.
If you are an artist unfamiliar with the Seattle music scene, here is a non-exhaustive list of concert venues, bars and nightclubs you might consider to contact to perform. Thanks to our friends at FairTrade Music Seattle for helping to make this listing.
