Sonny Smith and his friends (and backing band) The Sunsets are working their way back to Seattle to play The Funhouse on Tuesday, June 28th. Sonny brings his innocent, lovey dovey doo-wop songs from San Francisco on the first leg of their US/CANADA tour with The Sandwitches.

Hello everyone! We are excited to announce that one of the partners here at Seattle Scenester has moved on to a new project- an event calendar that includes tech, film, art, theater and music events. Bringing an editor with her in the move, Seattle Scenester is left to do what it always did best: provide reviews of shows around Seattle. We hope that you check out the new site: FourThirtySix.com and continue to read the editorial content after the fact, here at Scenester, too.

Be sure to follow us on twitter, if you aren’t already: @seattlescenestr

Here at Seattle Scenester, our goal has always been to provide the masses with a list of Seattle music and art events happening each night. As anyone who’s tried to find an event to go to last minute (whether you’re planning a date, having a case of the Mondays and need to get out, or new to town and want to get out and experience Seattle), knows — it’s pretty freaking hard to find! We feel your pain. We want to fill that void.

So, you’ll see some changes around here happening gradually. The first one is that we’re no longer posting shows day by day- but instead hour by hour! We’ve also added more categories of events for you to choose from. Take a moment and check out our event lists on the right sidebar of the site– for Music, Shows, Art, Theatre and Tech events- we’ve got it all baby! Enjoy.
