Fly Moon Royalty – Seattle City Hall Plaza – August 18, 2016
This group – half of the day’s configuration was vocalists – had an extremely full sound and quite the soulful groove. And it was blazing hot out there! Jackson and Boo are the nucleus, modeled a bit like Sharon Jones et al., and indeed there is a linkage. They were accompanied and enhanced by a lockin’/poppin’ dancer. Paint was applied frantically to the rhythm, with even a touch of raw watercolor cake impasto on the Jackson.
