Seattle is a music town, and a city that supports music is ambivalent to making it. But, unfortunately, Seattle's musicians have been routinely overlooked in historical accounts of the city. Kurt Armbruster rectifies that in this entertaining panorama of Seattle music from the 1890s to the 1960s, "before Seattle rocked." Memories from Seattle’s most beloved musicians coupled with photos of the changing music scene has made a lasting impact on readers. Also, the book is well-researched, and a delight for region's unique cultural identity. He covers social, economic, labor, and political history as related to the music industry in the Emerald City.
Kurt E. Armbruster is a Seattle native professional bassist, and singer-songwriter. He has played music of many genres and has written numerous historical articles too.
Readers have loved Kurt and his stories and couldn’t find any fault with this one either. Kurt’s love for his town, its people, and of course, its music. Learning about the often-overlooked historical aspects of any place is usually a wonderful feeling, and nothing changed in this case. Kurt is not only a local historian and musician, but also a great writer! If you love reading about cultural histories, music and musicians, then this is the book for you. And if you aren’t satisfied, go to Pioneer Square in Seattle and get a live taste of the local bands and music scene of Seattle.
