Celebrate New Year's Eve in Ballard with Music
Alyssa December 27th, 2008
If your idea of ringing in the new year includes going to a pub and listening to some music, then I’m here to tell you that the night of December 31, 2008 offers several options for musical entertainment in Ballard.
The Sunset is having a New Year’s Eve party, starting at 9pm. Bands featured include Shim, Pipsisewah, Pickwick and more. The music is mostly rock-based. Cost is $10 in advance, or $12 the day of the show. Order tickets from TicketWeb.
At the Tractor Tavern starting at 9:30pm, you can hear music by Handful of Luvin’ and the Staxx Brothers. The former plays a hard-to-categorize blend of musical styles and the latter plays soulful hip-hop rock. Cost is $15: get your tickets from TicketWeb.
The Conor Byrne Pub has folk-rock alt-country music by the Ian McFerron Band. The person I spoke to there thought it would start at 9pm or earlier, and cost around $20, but wasn’t 100% sure.
Old Pequliar is featuring an Irish band that evening. Contact the venue for more details.
