Proof of Vaccine or negative PCR test within 72 hours of door time required JAMES COATES BIO Americana artist James Coates sings about what he knows: falling and getting back up again. His latest album One Last Ride was lovingly crafted over a period of five years. The result is a deeply personal look into the life of an artist through handcrafted songs, made even more immersive when performed by Coates’s clique of talented local session players, which include a horn section and backing chorus. But above all the lush instrumentation sits the voice of the storyteller. Producers ditched the autotune relied on by so many artists to instead create an artifact of humanistic beauty: one songwriter and his stories, the way he wants them told. THE BGP BIO A brotherhood hailing from the ‘Fair town’ of Puyallup, WA, The BGP is a west coast soft pop band. A mix of Foster the People and Hall & Oates, The BGP is lead by 2 frontmen [Brandon Ghorley - and Phinisey] and features drummer Josh Demorow, guitarist Phil Hopper and a regular cast of favorite local musicians. In 2021, new singles '20 Ways' and 'Everyday' found their way into ads (Google Nest) and tv (MTV reality). The band also released upbeat summer jams 'Magic' and 'Rum Runner,' which they are currently touring at colleges along the west coast. Previously The BGP has opened for Andy Grammer and Allen Stone, and performed on America's Got Talent.
