The LOUIE FEST of Tacoma is coming back! Originally started by the Fabulous Wailers<\/strong> as a way to celebrate the song LOUIE LOUIE and the legacy of the Pacific Northwwest musicians that put it on the map, the LOUIE FEST is returning for a big celebration at the end of this month.<\/p>\n

The event starts off with a very special kick-off show on Friday, July 27th with the Sonics<\/strong> at the Pantages Theater, marking the first time in many years they’ve performed in their hometown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Saturday, July 27th at 7 pm at the LeMay Main Stage, there will be a very rare appearance of Moby Grape<\/strong>, marking the FIRST time Tacoma’s own Jerry Miller<\/strong> will be appearing with the band in his hometown! <\/p>\n

Singer Skip Spence<\/strong>‘s role will be performed by his son Omar Spence<\/strong>, who does a pretty decent job of channelling his father’s voice.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, July 29th at 6pm at the LeMay Main Stage, the big 1000 Guitar Finale<\/strong> will take place, where EVERYONE is invited to bring their guitar and amplifier to play LOUIE LOUIE in unison… who knows..maybe set some kind of world record? <\/p>\n
