Market Rocking!
The crazies have turned Virginia Street into theater seating. This event is blowing up.
Seattle's own Ernestein Anderson just left the stage. Her lyrics, accompanied by a piano, bass, and jazz snare sound takes us to a time when minority artists performing at the market were not allowed to play the clubs. Rather, jazz musicians such as this eloquent vocalist would make their place at the speak easys in town. She eventually went to Europe with artists like Ray Charles to break in. In this Emerald City, she is a queen.
Vinnie Maranda on right now. This 15-year old is the man in black reincarnated. First song: Fulsome county prison blues.
Gander On!
Tonights Performances Live on Seattle Channel. P P M 100 Bday !
Members of Pearl Jam and Presidents of the United States of America will be performing FOR SURE tonight! If you can't get down here, check out all the action live on Seattle Channel (ch. 21 in Seattle and on the www).
The crowd is engulfing us as the street has been shut down. Already on stage was the Ballard Sedentary Marching Band. This cute group from Seattle's Norwegian capital feature the world's only sedentary drill team and baton specialist. Right now, tune in and check out a wondrous local Gospel group. Also tonigt is Fan Kick's final performance and the Iconics.
Gooseninja.com @ Pike Place Market 100 Bday !
Made it to Western and Virginia for the Mainstage music at the Pike Place Market Centenial bash. We have the best seat in the house on the grass in front of a large stage. The Puget Sound in the background, the weather perfect. The market has been a blast all day, yet the fun is just about to begin...

GooseNinja.com Exclusive: Secret Seattle Performances, Pearl Jam
Multiple unnamed sources have revealed to us that Friday's 100th Birthday of Pike Place Market will be much bigger than advertised. We have been alerted that Hart is to perform as well as several members from (breath) Pearl Jam. Guitarist Mike McCready is already billed as a special guest of The Iconics. The Iconics blend members of POT USA, Possies, and Department of Energy. Artis the Spoonman and many of our favorite buskers are also set to perform all day.
The day will kick off with free coffee and onion tartlets at 8am and a Re-enactment of 1907 at 9:30am. The Re-enactment (Think John C Reilly's SNL sketch) will feature Actors from Unexpected Production in period dress. Get in an aerial photo of the market at 12:30, grab some B-day cake shortly after, and get ready for the closing of Western Ave. (like Seattle needs another road closure) for some live music. Oh, and don't miss the Centennial Championship Salmon Toss at 1:45, that's a lock.
Get prepared: Here is the history of Pike Place Market; Watch the event live online at the Seattle Channel; Here is an interactive guide from the LA Times; Here is a story about the ghosts you may encounter in the Market (courtesy the Seattle Times)...
Gander On!
