They we're awesome! They always are. It seems like the band had been enjoying the wine. It was the second night playing the winery so they messed up a few times but it made the show better because it was more personalized and authentic, more memorable. They we're still awesome!
Savannah Woods is a world class singer surrounded by beyond amazing musicians. They play many free concerts around Seattle and I feel like I'm getting away with something every time. If you have not seen this band, you better do it soon or you'll be paying big $$$ in the future to see them!
Regina Spektor was amazing! This venue is so nice…very chill, well managed security and employees who made the lines flow so easily. The merch counter was also laid back and super friendly. Great food options too!
Jason Mraz NEVER disappoints! His voice is pitch perfect, his lyrics are uplifting and inspirational, his band is always amazing, and his stage presence is friendly, easy-going and fun. I am a die-hard fan! Last night was my 19th concert—and I am going tonight, for my 20th show! His opening act, Celisse, was awesome! Her singing and guitar-playing were incredible and her back up musicians were extremely talented! All in all, it was a perfect night at the Chateau Ste Michelle!
This is the second time I've seen Fitz and the Tantrums this year and both shows top my Best Performances list 😍 Their energy is incredible and they click so well with the audience!
Haven't seen them before but they were on my list and I was looking forward to it. Was NOT disappointed! A very versatile group, playing on a strong triple billing. They led off and were ahead of Leftover Salmon coming into the stretch, but Railroad Earth blew them both away coming round the final turn (at least from my perspective). I'll definitely be looking to see YMSB again tho. Great show - and thanks!
As for the venue, CSM still has something to offer in terms of being a beautiful and intimate setting, but the Live Nation takeover has not added anything positive. None of the venue staff outside seemed to know what the heck was going on, crowd control inside is a lot more oppressive, the premium seating is a joke, the huge metal cabana scaffolding in particular is an affront to the senses and the overall aesthetic of the venue, and don't even get me started on the price gouging. It's a shame, but I doubt we'll see as much music there in the future. We used to really look forward to going there, but it's just not as welcoming an atmosphere to pay what, due to the small venue size, were already premium prices.
Soild group, and a lot of fun to watch. Of the three on the bill, they were my third favorite, but that's not a criticism. It's just a testament to how good YMSB and Railroad Earth were.

Had not listened to them much before this show, and thought they were more of a traditional bluegrass outfit. They were anything but, and that's not a criticism in the slightest! I'm sure they don't please the "no B flat minor" crowd, but for me, they were the sleeper hit of the evening. Will definitely be looking to see them again!

I have been a big fan of both Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello since the late '70s. I was fortunate to be at their concert in Woodinville, WA on June 9, 2023 and had a wonderful (if damp) time. Near the end of the concert, Elvis Costello broke into (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding. I fully expected Nick Lowe (the writer of that particular song) to come and join his friend for a rousing finale. But, alas, no such duet was forthcoming. Nevertheless, I good time was had by all.
The show was great and the sound sounded very good. We had a disabled parking permit. What a cluster... No one had a clue whether there were any slots left or where they were. After some consternation we finally found a spot.Not sure what can be done but people walking around during the show was the worst I've ever experienced. Not sure why a bunch of old farts like me would be wandering around so much.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd was outstanding, bringing Bobby Rush on stage for a couple of times and finishing with a Hendrix tune and Stevie Ray with all the performers in a jam. Great show!
show was good - however we could not see the stage because a group of high back chairs sat in front of us. It would have been nice it all the staff walking around would have enforced the lawn seating rules.
Halfway through this absolutely incredible show a full moon slowly came up behind the stage to put a cap on a perfect evening. An entire set of Bob Marley song by his son Ziggy Marley doesn’t get any better..
This was an absolutely wonderful show!! It was nothing short of pure artistry on stage. It was such a pleasure to see Tenacious D perform, and Puddles' opening was fabulous!! The atmosphere at the winery was perfect and I got to help start a small pit near the front!
seeing 3rd eye blind is always wonderful They killed it on stage like they always do most of the crowd Was very cool and respectful The staff and venue on the other hand was not.....they were very rude, Disorganized,and not very helpful.... The 10 o'clock curfew as if we were 13 Made 3rd eye blind feel rushed (Which you could tell by the way) needs to go away...The entrance into parking was very disorganized as well you have one road which led you in Which it takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes to get in just for parking and then to leave It's almost as if you have to leave the venue while they're still playing their show just so you can get on the road and not sit in their lot for an hourwhile you wait For all the traffic to move out in stages.... Also this no smoking policy sucks you have people that can get super drunk and that's OK but somebody wants to go have a cigarette they can't anywhere on the property Because there's no designated smoking area even just one little area would have been nice..... I do not recommend anybody go to this venue or see any artist here If you're looking for a really garbage place to go see a band then this place is for you if not and you want to enjoy yourself and have a great time Go with the different venue
This concert is always amazing and this year was no different, maybe even better than past EW&F shows! They played ALL the hits and a few lesser known album tracks that true fans know just the same.
Vocalist Larry Braggs was a pleasant surprise . Very good. The venue and security was excellent. The musician were superb !!! Relaxing, great show!!! Johnny K. Stagg, Tacoma, WA
Ziggy was the star! That is why I’m giving 5 stars!! He is a Marley! Pure talent, humanitarian , amazing band, back up singers and is a true performer for his fans!!
I wish I’d known he was opening for Franti. It’s my fault for not reading the acts as they would perform. We left two songs in for Franti. We stayed at the winery for a little while longer and saw droves of people leaving during his set as well.
I was there for Ziggy and was so thankful we were blessed to see him at all. However, I’m beyond disappointed with Franti. I felt like I was at a pop, laser show concert.
It won’t take away from Ziggy. I still had fun. One Love!! ♥️
Such a great show. Chris Isaak and his band were as outstanding as always and his beautiful voice hasn’t changed in the many, many years we have been seen them perform. Plus, they are so funny that you find yourself looking forward to the time between the songs as much as the songs themselves. Love this show!
