Electric Park Jazz Band
Aberdeen, Washington

Founded in 1983, Electric Park Jazz Band is named after the old Electrical Park that powered Aberdeen. It closed in the 50's and was replaced by the present day PUD. The band has performed at 18 out of 20 Rain or Shine Jazz Festivals, co-hosting with Hume Street Preservation Jazz Band.

Cork’s Crew
Walterville, Oregon
Website
Cork's Crew is a 7 piece Dixieland band put together by Cork Larsen. In November Cork (on banjo) will be joined by Californians Pete Main-clarinet  and Earl Scheelar-cornet. The rest of the band is filled out with other distinguished "local" musicians some of whom might be: Bill Kick-trombone, Jim Foster-tuba, Ted Van-drums, Don Paulson-piano, Meg Graf-bass sax. The band sticks to trad jazz sounds and likes to find obscure pieces seldom played by other bands. They are popular to listeners and dancers alike, and play up-beat peppy tunes.

Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band
Bellevue, Washington
Website
Seattle's Uptown Lowdown Jazz Band specializes in good upbeat Dixieland jazz and ragtime, serving clients and jazz fans since 1971. The band in that span of time has performed in every way imaginable - from the grand opening of the Kingdome to the final beam raising of the Westin Hotel.
