Join us for an evening with Ray Troll and his merry band of artist-musicians hailing from the town of Ketchikan.
You know Troll best for his “fin” art: part scientific illustration, part humor and irreverence. But did you know Ray Troll has also been in love with the guitar since he first saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan in 1964? During a turn as a substitute art teacher in the mid-80s, Ray met Russell Wodehouse and Shauna Lee, two teens who had been riding the British synth pop craze with their own brand of pop music. Thirty years later, the trio is still hitting the stage with a unique sound and delicious visuals.
The music they play has been described by some as sub-aquatic neo-folk n’ fish-rock. They put on a fun and uniquely Alaskan show, complete with a “sockeyedelic” light show.
Ray says, “We’ll be playing in front of the big Window on Washington Waters exhibit at the Seattle Aquarium, one of my favorite places on the planet. This promises to be a truly magical evening not only because we’ll have salmon and rockfish looking over our shoulders but also because my son’s band ‘The Amish Robots’ will be opening for us! And it’s right in the middle of Octopus Week!”
So join us at the Aquarium to rock out with the rockfish and shimmy with the salmon and enjoy an evening like none other.
Tickets: $15 advance; $20 at the door
Doors at 7pm
