Covid has been a frustrating time for musicians and venue owners. Thanks to the help of the CDC as well as the public volunteering for the COVID-19 Vaccine, shows and events are starting to come back into play and give us the best shows we’ve seen since before Covid.
With protocols and restrictions loosing up around the Spokane Country area, music artists are starting to come back to the Lilac city. Artists such as Amine, OhGeesy, Bad Religion, & the Trinity of Terror Tour (featuring Motionless in White, Black Veil Bridges & Ice Nine Kills) are some of the well known named artists performing at the Knitting Factory this March. Tickets are on sale on their website, https://sp.knittingfactory.com/
“This is my home! I love the Pacific Northwest, and to perform in four cities in the PNW is wild to me,” Rapper Amine said, “BEST TOUR EVER in Spokane will be an interesting stop for my crew and I. I’ve had a blast on all these other stops, but to be back in the PNW (my home), it brings happiness to my crew!”
As the Knitting Factory is coming back to life, the Spokane Arena (even though sporting events have taken full force) is coming alive this April with Paul McCartney bringing his tour here into town for his first stop on April 28th. Before Sir Paul comes rolling into town, don’t forget that the one and only Santana will be firing up the stage on April 3rd. MercyMe is also coming into town on April 10th to bring a lively, Godly, outstanding concert to the people of Spokane. To get more alerts, as well as tickets for future events at the Spokane Arena, check their website at http://www.spokanearena.com/
“It took some time to win over McCartney’s manager, Mark “Springo” Spring, but I’m so thrilled he chose Spokane to be the place that Sir Paul will kick off his tour,” Matt Meyer, Spokane Facilities District director of entertainment, said.
If you’re the type of person who likes close interactions and is not good with a lot of people in a huge venue, go check out the Lucky You Lounge on the west side of Downtown Spokane. They have artists that are always popping up onto the radar for more audiences to grab onto. Artists such as Jack Symes (with Joe Kaplow and Eva B. Ross), Everything is Terrible!, Joe Vann, Paul Cherry (with Dougie Poole and Sedona), and Ghost Light are some of the few artists coming full swing at the lounge and are eager to have a sold out crowd. Tickets start at $15 and you can get those at http://luckyyoulounge.com/ .
“I’m ready for the energy this town brings to artists who are ready to go even farther in this game,” Joe Vann said, “I’ve heard from other artists that this town just thrives on music and is the best crowd to perform in when music comes to their town! Give me all the energy.”
