Lucky Dry Goods Goes Western

The third Ballard Art Walk event at Lucky Dry Goods will be Western style, featuring live music by Evening Bell, a local country duo featuring Hart Kingsbery and Caitlin Sherman.

Hart is the gravel-throated, guitar-slingin' singer and songwriter of Fin Records recording artists and local honky tonk heroes, Davidson Hart Kingsbery. Caitlin is his foil, a soulful pianist and chanteuse in her own right. They're the contemporary Kris and Rita (or Gram and Emmylou) of Seattle. Lucky Dry Good's house DJ, Dusty Drapes, will be spinning plenty of tear-in-your-beer country classics, all on vinyl. There will be an extensive collection of rare and vintage Western wear on display & for sale.

Ozen Company Leather Trunk Show at Lucky Dry Goods for April Artwalk

Leathersmith Aykut Ozen brings his collection of exotic, completely handmade leather jackets and accessories for men and women to Lucky Dry Goods for an exclusive trunk show on Saturday, April 13th from 6-10 PM. Ozen recently won best designer at the Experience Music Project "Worn To Be Wild" fashion show. EMP also included one of his jackets in their "History of the Leather Jacket" museum exhibition.

He will also participate in this fall's prestigious Bellevue Fashion Week presentation. His work is influenced by vintage workwear and motorcycle jackets, as well as the legendary handmade designs of 60s and 70s San Francisco heavies, East West. His jackets would've looked at home on the shoulders of Marc Bolan, Betty Davis, Black Sabbath or Sly & the Family Stone.

Musical Guest: Johnathan Rooke Jazz

For this month's May ArtWalk, we will be featuring a very special addition, live music! It has always been our goal to bring in live performances for Ballard ArtWalk to make this event a truly festive and fun experience for fellow ArtWalkers.

Our first musical guest will be Johnathan Rooke. Jonathan Rooke performs the early 20th century jazz standards with a flair all his own. His new take on the old tunes has entertained crowds of all ages in coffeehouses, lounges, and street festivals in Seattle, New York, Boulder, and Minneapolis. If you are a regular at the Ballard Farmers Market, you may have been lucky enough to catch him and his band playing for everyone on a nice sunny day. 

For this ArtWalk, you can catch his performance this Saturday (5/12) at the Marvin's Garden bell tower 6-9pm. Art, live music and sunny warm weather is in the works for Ballard so come join us for what will be a truly beautiful evening!
