The Jelly Rollers

Add Comment

Sepia-toned blues and roots music that howls, rocks, rolls and swoons. These guys cry Americana more authentically than a stack of phonographic records. The Jelly Rollers take the stage at Seattle City Hall's outdoor plaza Thursday, July 30th from 12-1:30pm. Free and all ages, the show is a perfect excuse for a summer picnic, or just an escape from a mundane day in a downtown office!
