Founded by twin siblings, Eva and Cedric Walker, the Seattle-based rock 'n' roll band The Black Tones has grown from humble beginnings in their grandmother’s basement to receiving accolades from outlets like KEXP, which named their debut LP, Cobain & Cornbread (recorded by the legendary Jack Endino), the #17 album of 2019; The Seattle Times, which dubbed the group one of the 15 Most Influential Artists of the past decade; and NPR, which named the band one of Seattle’s 15 groups redefining the city.

Through the 1990s and early 2000s, Pier 62 was home to one of the most iconic and popular music events in the city, Summer Nights at the Pier. These unforgettable concerts helped to solidify Seattle’s status as a crucible for music and culture, and forged a lasting relationship between live music and Seattle’s waterfront. The Pier Sounds concert series forges this memory with new energy and music on a revitalized Pier 62 to reignite the sense of celebration and community in the place where it all began.

Pier Sounds concerts include The Black Tones on 10/2, D’Vonne Lewis and Friendz on 10/9, Lady A and Tiffany Wilson on 10/16. These free, family-friendly concerts welcome everyone to come and enjoy live music alongside the sights and sounds of Seattle’s waterfront. Learn more about upcoming dates at piersounds.org.

Pier 62 is Seattle’s most scenic new public space. Beyond the ever-changing collection of family-friendly cultural, recreational, and educational activities, Pier 62 is a unique place to see art, grab a bite, stroll alongside breathtaking views, or relax and enjoy a waterside respite from the big city. Pier 62 is managed and programmed by Friends of Waterfront Seattle in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation and City of Seattle’s Office of the Waterfront.
