Rocky & Kristine’s Karaoke Corner: PREPARATION IS KEY
By Rocky & Kristine Fields
Is it Spring yet? “Oh no,” they said, “Winter has only just begun!”
Hello, and welcome to the February edition of the Karaoke & Entertainment Guide!
Literally overnight, the Pacific Northwest was instantly transformed into a beautiful Winter wonderland, white with snow, in January 2012. Huddled around the fire with a cup of hot chocolate, snuggled indoors, we watched as a foot of snow blanketed our neighborhoods. For several days we were snowed in. Karaoke shows were cancelled all over town, businesses and casinos closed early.
One Eyed Jacks turns 9
By Ty Hughes
There’s always so much happening at One Eyed Jack’s Roadhouse these days, we finally just pitched a tent in the parking lot!
Owner Tom McAlees has really struck a chord with the neighborhood, filling a need, or maybe just a bunch of desires. Either way, he and his crew have been putting together amazing and quality entertainment to amuse the masses for nine whole years now! I know, we couldn’t believe it either.
Claire’s Pantry is Ah!some
By Ty Hughes
Our new friend Phil invited us out to check out the karaoke phenomena unfolding at Claire’s Pantry; 12360 Lake City Way Northeast Seattle, WA 98125 – ph. (206) 365-4542.
Of course we couldn’t pass up the opportunity, I mean, have you seen Phil? It’s like telling Sammy Hagar himself, “No, I can’t come over to play”. Besides, I was anxious to check out a brand new spot. Somewhere I’d never stepped foot in, and just see what happens. I love my job!
ROCK THE BLUES NEWS & music review
By Gary Draper
Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a great holiday season.
I have to say that the event at “88 Keys” on December 4, 2011 was totally awesome! Roger Fisher (founding guitarist/songwriter for Heart) and Tony Coleman (Tony Coleman Band, BB King drummer) tore it up. They were backed by the very talented band Soulstice.
If you didn’t catch this show, you definitely missed a good one. You may think of Roger as a classic rock kind of guy because of Heart, but I’m here to tell you, he kicks out some mean Blues licks on that guitar. And Tony, wow, what can I say? Just incredible! He is the consummate Bluesman.

Verginia’s got your back at BB Magraws
By Ty Hughes
Making my way south through the Kent Valley on Central to Auburn Way, I couldn’t help but notice how dead all the bars were.
Sure it was Tuesday night, but still. Mid-December, Christmas was closing in, where are all the jolly ranchers? Suddenly I turn the corner at 15th Ave in Auburn, and there before me is a full parking lot in front of BB Magraws! Yes!
That was good news, because this was my destination tonight. Had to come out and see if the rumors I’d been hearing on the street was true; that BB Magraw’s Tuesdays with Verginia were really picking up. And, I’d have to say, I was quite impressed having not visited since the show’s inception months ago.

It’s My Made Up Life maybe not so made up
By Ty Hughes
Jon Horton may have accomplished the impossible; taking center stage and baring the soul to an entire auditorium in a powerful one-man show.
Emotions run the gamut as a recently expired man is forced to descend from the heavens to confront the issues and people that made his life what it was before he met his demise in a freak parachuting accident.
Karaoke Ch’i at the Yen Wor Garden
By Stephen Whitener
Hello karaoke goers! Stephen, the singing geek, back-atcha with a review of the Yen Wor Garden in north Seattle!
I am always looking for new and great places to get my singing on. For a couple months my friend Pete had been telling me of this great place called the Yen Wor. He loved going there for karaoke.
