June 14 – The Nathaniel Talbot Trio kicks off the 2023 Bayview Corner Summer Street Dance series. Featuring Keegan Harshman on bass and Mickey Grimm on drums, they gracefully explore new intersections of roots, blues and pop. While groovier and more experimental than Nathaniel Talbot’s acoustic solo work, the music never ventures too far from the grounding force of his clear voice, affecting storytelling and distinctive guitar lines.

June 28 – ROSSaCONN is an eclectic mix of danceable instrumental originals, blending funk, African, reggae rock and life influences. Stephan Ross on bass, Eric Nightsong Conn on guitar, and Rachman Ross on drums keep it upbeat and fun.  

July 12 – Rubatano Marimba offers heart-warming and dance-inducing Zimbabwean style marimba. Tanya Boyd, Paul Hayes, Kerry Holland, Dana Moffett, Micah Petrich, Leslie Breeden, Diana Chamrad, Dyanne Harshman, Warner Scheyer and Tillie Scruton will be joined by special guest musicians from Zimbabwe.

July 26 – The Nick Mardon Trio is a blues-rock power trio from Seattle, led by Nick Mardon on guitar and vocals, Adin Pennington on bass and vocals, and Andy Emery on drums. Their music blends the sounds of 60s and 70s blues-rock power trios with the Seattle sound of the 1990s.

August 10 – PETE is the quintessential Whidbey Island garage band, performing rock & blues dance music and American groove music. The band is comprised of Goosefoot’s own Fredde Butterworth on drums, Dave Draper and Tom Hoeflich on guitar, Marc Strader on bass, with special guests David Licastro on guitar and Danny Ward on sax.
