I'll jump in here with another recommendation from another Washington based band. The genre is much much heavier though. If you are located in the Seattle area and like hard rock/metal you need to check out Pamela Moore. Normally I don't venture this deep into metal but Pamela is an exception. As some of you know I recently went on cruisetotheedge.com. Five days, twenty seven bands and pure bliss. One of the lesser known bands (to me) was Pamela Moore. I happened to walk past the atrium stage when Pamela and her band were doing a sound-check. I was hooked. The music was captivating and Pamela really knows how to work the audience. You can listen to her new album, "Resurrect Me" on her website.
