Local band Back Burner will perform during the second annual Kirkland Wednesday Market Harvest Supper and Grape Choice Stomp from 4-7 p.m. Sept. 16 at Marina Park.

The 6-piece acoustic string band plays a toe tappin’ mix of bluegrass, swing, jazz, country, and blues. Their music blends jazz vocals and bluegrass harmonies into what Doug Bright, editor of the Heritage Music Review, calls “A bluegrass swing fusion that works!”

The band was founded in 1990 by Loren Postma and Lou Allen. Loren hails from Everett and is one of the northwest’s premier dobro players. Snohomish resident Lou plays guitar. Bothell’s Brad Hull plays bass and fiddle. Dave Campbell and Tom Brisk are both from Woodinville. Dave plays banjo and bass, and Tom plays mandolin. The Back Burner boys all sing. Kirkland resident Karen Story specializes in singing swing and joins the boys on vocals.

The band’s material includes original songs plus old standards and new material from a variety of genres. The music appeals to all ages!

Back Burner’s first CD, “Simmer On,” was released in 2007 and received an honorable mention on KBCS 91.3 fm for the Top 10 Bluegrass CDs of 2007. The CD was also featured on the KMPS Morning Show with Ichabod Caine.
