This Friday, KEXP, Seattle Center and No Depression are teaming up to bring you an excellent line up for the first of August's Concerts at the Mural! Take advantage of this unique opportunity to discover your new favorite band or enjoy independent artists you already love for FREE! If that's not enticing enough, this outdoor concert is your chance to seize Seattle's perfect August evenings below the city's most famous landmark before the Fall chill rolls in. KEXP will showcase some of its favorite bands like the retro and danceable JD McPherson, folk rockers Rose Windows and the underground blues of GravelRoad.
JD McPherson puts a new punch in traditional American R&B and blues rock, his debut album has been described as "seductively kickass." Check out Oklahoma's JD McPherson jazzing up KEXP during his recent in-studio performance (I dare you not to dance).
