A Jumbalassy Reunion (Of Sorts)
This continues to be a summer of musical reunions. Several members of Jumbalassy got together to play shows, and judging by our collective enjoyment of these gigs I’m guessing that we’ll be doing this more often. Most of the lineup is intact, with a few additions. I’d say our summer shows have been pretty good, and the audience reaction has been positive. Our first summer gig was at the “Bite of Seattle”, which is a weekend-long festival at Seattle Center. We played on the Mural Amphitheater Stage, which is very familiar ground to this band. Over the years of our existence, I would estimate we have performed on this stage at least 25 times. The same stage crew and support personnel are always there. It’s like a reunion with them too.
We also played a corporate event in August, which was my favorite show of the summer. We were hired by Starbucks to perform for employees. The band sounded great and had a wonderful time playing together.
