This year’s Summer Concerts at Hiawatha have begun! That’s Ural Thomas and The Pain, up from Portland, shaking the stage tonight for the first of six free Thursday night shows.

The Admiral Neighborhood Association has presented the concert series since 2009, and we’ve been co-sponsoring it since the start. Lots of other community businesses support the series, too, keeping it free.

As usual, the littlest concertgoers were the most prone to getting up and moving to the music. If you missed it, here’s a snippet of sound:

OK, some grownups did dance too:

Next Thursday (July 26th), 6:30 pm on the east lawn at Hiawatha, the concerts continue with Good Quiver – see you there!

Thank you West Seattle Blog for sponsoring us again this year! Ural Thomas was wonderful last night and it was great to see so many people come out for the show. It’s going to be a terrific summer :-)

The band was cookin’ and groovin’. Did I read that Ural is 80 years old? I’d believe 40, maybe. A good, soulful start for this concert series. Thanks!
