Boob-a-Palooza at Obec
We are so excited for our first ever Boob-A-Palooza concert coming up next month on August 21! This fundraising event will bring together the Seattle Strides community to learn about the American Cancer Society and Making Strides all while listening to great local music.
The American Cancer Society staff partner Aubrey will be performing with her band @thelocalstrangers! The Local Strangers mine the intersection of simmering indie Americana, 70’s-tinged sweeping rock explorations, saw-dusted country and mesquite-smoke blues – and strike gold. Aubrey Zoli and Matt Hart could each front a band in their own right. Together Zoli, soaring and honeyed, and Hart, rough-edged yet elegant, elevate their work with The Local Strangers to something truly timeless.
Grab your tickets here. They are just $20 and all proceeds benefit Making Strides of Seattle.
