Seattle Peace Concerts
Seattle Peace Concerts' free summer park concert series, coordinated by Don Glenn since the early 80s, feature well established musicians and entertainers as well as some of the Northwest's best new artists. Musical styles reflect the diverse contemporary music scene here in the pacific northwest and beyond! - Rock, Pop, Reggae, R&B, Blues, Zydeco, Drum Groups, Choirs, Folk, World Beat, Jazz, and some stuff that defies labeling. These are family events. No alcohol! Admission is free however we encourage folks to bring food bank donations for Northwest Harvest and please contribute what you can when "The Bucket" comes around to help us cover expenses. Another way to support these events, and take home some of the best music performed at these events, is to purchase SPC Compilation Albums. Seattle Peace Concerts and an amazing range of mostly local musicians and sponsors have kept free music going in the Seattle Parks. An attempt was made in the early eighties to ban Amplified Music, i.e. "Rock n' Roll", from the Seattle Parks because of the negative impact some of the events held at that time had on the parks and on the general community. Reason prevailed! Sound levels and other conditions were established and for the past 27 years, to the credit of kind Seattle folk, we have maintained good relations with our City Government, and the Seattle community in general, and the Parks have always looked as good or better after these concerts than before. We did good Seattle!!

More information about Peace Code Records choice to participate as organizers for this event.
The Red Hot Blues Sisters have called on many NW individuals both military service individuals and civilians to speak about peace at our event.
Our intention is completely in support of the troops serving our country right now and our military speakers speak about their involvement as peace keepers in Iraq and Afghanistan and give our audiences a chance to experience what it takes for their safe return and also how their service allows us to have the freedom to perform and organize the show in the first place.
This insight into what they do and how the Iraqi Afghani communities appreciate what they bring to their Mid-East community is an immeasurable connection for the Seattle community.
We have also been sponsored by Coinforce who are the main manufactures of the challenge coins issued to service men and women upon the completion of their missions. Our desire is none other than their safe return home.
So while we wish we were not at war, we totally support what our troops do for you and I.
On another note our Peace Concert has supported a cease to violence in our communities and against women and children. We have donated proceeds to nonprofit organizations that assist injured military returning from their missions, and at risk youth in Washington State reeducating them to work with others through teaching Blues instruments and musicianship.
Several of these kids will perform during the event.
There are also several retired military members playing in the bands on the bill of this concert. The City of Seattle has declared this day a Car-Free Walk in the Park day and choosing to celebrate and collaborate with our concert is an honorable mention from the Mayors office.
Hopefully you can see this is a Peace educative event
not a negative thought toward our troops has even entered our minds.
