Track 19 "Spicy Stew of Sonic Sauce"
Saturday, September 4 7:30pm, Cafe Luna.
"One cannot define the sound of Track 19 in a single category. They are a dynamic, punchy, and vivid 3 piece alliance that melds their individuality into a single stream of musical expression. Singer, Songwriter Rick “3D” Doussett, a NW veteran guitar player, mixes his magic between many stringed instruments, including slide guitar and ukulele. Bob “Rock” Kueker brings his Chicago roots into the medley with his wholehearted bass, earthy vocals and gritty songwriting. Drummer Eddy J concocts his grooves from a minimalist kit with a spiciness derived from his love of jazz, atop a rock solid cadence of modern rhythms. Track 19 has that “indie” rock handle that includes an acoustic set with 2 guitars, an electric set with bass and guitar and everything in between. Their original songs are blended with a pinch of flavorful covers from Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Kinks, Jeff Beck, Pearl Django, Everclear, and Johnny A. Track 19 released their first album in 2008 and are currently pursuing their second full length CD. Their upcoming dates will include most of their new album performed in a “small club” approach that is very listenable and stirring.

Welcome to VashonMusic.Com!
Each and every one of us has had all sorts of personal experiences with music.....we find ourselves calmed by it, excited by it, comforted by it, mystified by it and often haunted by it. Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears. Some of us need music to start the day and as company when we drive, especially those of us who commute off-island to the city. Sometimes we just need it to calm our thoughts when we are done for the day, to usher us into the world of dreams at night.
In fact, music can work for us in more than one way--it can distract us from pain, it can boost our mood or revive old memories and it can even prompt the body to match its rhythms...yeah, that's right...make us want to dance. It has tempo, rhythm, melody, harmony....so it stimulates the brain in many ways all at once.
Music can provoke your thoughts, set a mood, or put you on edge. It can be a release or an old friend that brings comfort...... or quite simply, it can be used to drive the neighbors crazy.
Vashon's music scene is rich with some of the most incredible artists you will ever come across. Join us in recognizing our music community and getting to know them. Welcome to VashonMusic.Com! ~Pete~
Music creates community. Music matters.
If I ever die of a heart attack, I hope it will be from playing my stereo too loud. ~Anonymous
Calling all musicians!
I wanted to reach out to everyone and let you know that if you’re a musician or if you know a musician on the island, anyone as a solo artist or in a band should have some sort of representation on the hottest music site on Vashon Island: http://www.vashonmusic.com
If you have a minute, take a look at the site to see who and what’s happening on the island. The site is maintained by Steve Allen, Kris Bates & myself….me mostly for content and those two guys for the technical aspects….they are the smart ones without a doubt.
We welcome any and all suggestions on how to improve the website….ideas on how to make it easier to navigate and find what you’re looking for, ideas on what we’re missing and might make the site more interesting….whatever….we’d love to hear from you.
We have uploaded many bands and solo artists to the website, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. There are so many more of you.
