Downtown Summer Sounds Off to a Sizzling Start

Thousands of people have already turned out to enjoy the first nine shows in our Downtown Summer Sounds free outdoor concert series, and the good vibes are just getting started.

There are 10 more performances featuring local, national and international artists, including Taylah Elaine, Cimafunk, DRAM and Hollow Coves.

Presented by Amazon, in partnership with KEXP, Lime and Seattle Parks & Recreation — and made possible through the generous support of downtown ratepayers — DSS concerts run through Aug. 28 in parks and public spaces throughout downtown.

Singer/songwriter Raveena kicked the series off with a soulful set at Westlake Park on July 11 with upward of 1,000 fans in attendance, and Jackie Venson and Kishi Bashi serenaded thousands more with energy-filled, engaging shows.

“This series really captures the spirit of summer in Seattle, bringing music and energy to the heart of downtown,” DSA Vice President of Public Realm & Ambassador Operations Jennifer Casillas said. “We’re thrilled to see so many people coming out to enjoy the music and experience the vibrancy of downtown.”
