MONDAY

COMEDY

Amy Schumer: Whore Tour Past Event Like List
Aside from her weird reputation for insensitivity, Amy Schumer has certainly made her mark on comedy over the last few years, winning several Emmy awards for Inside Amy Schumer and hosting this year's kerfuffle-filled Oscars. She'll land in Seattle with more wisecracks, hopefully keeping the racism at bay.
(Paramount Theatre, Downtown)

LIVE MUSIC

Marissa Nadler
Past Event Like List Marissa Nadler's journey though music is as compelling as her songs. Her earliest records showed her talent as a true balladeer, delivering tragic songs that were stripped down so her lush vocals became the centerpiece. Since then Nadler's records have become even more ambitious and layered. And 2016's Strangers might be her most accessible, although it still lurks in the shadows. MARK LORE
(Chop Suey, Capitol Hill)

READINGS & TALKS

Cecily Wong with Lucy Tan
Past Event Like List Portland-based writer Cecily Wong hit the New York Times bestseller list with her fearlessly delicious tome Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer's Guide, but the gourmand is also a novelist—her new work, Kaleidoscope, unravels the intricate dynamics of a biracial Chinese American family. She'll chat about the book with Seattle writer Lucy Tan at this event. 
(Third Place Books, Ravenna)

TUESDAY

COMEDY

Depths of Wikipedia Past Event Like List
If you're as terminally online as we are, you might already follow Annie Rauwerda's Instagram account, Depths of Wikipedia, where she digs up the encyclopedic website's most delightfully strange stuff.

(Here-After at the Crocodile, Belltown)

FILM

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Past Event Like List
Finally, the role Nicolas Cage was born to play—himself. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is a meta action romp that sees the actor tangle up with the CIA and a dangerous crime ring. The criminal? Nic's new best friend, played by Pedro Pascal. (Hey, you can't help who you love.)
(Central Cinema, Central District)

FOOD & DRINK

Yellow Rose Pop-Up Past Event Like List
In New York City, the convivial restaurant Yellow Rose has won a loyal following for its comforting, well-executed Tex-Mex dishes.

Look forward to tacos, cake, special frozen drinks, merch, and more.
(Linda's Tavern, Capitol Hill)

LIVE MUSIC

Coheed and Cambria Past Event Like List
Move over Rush—Coheed and Cambria could very well be the nerdiest band on the planet. How else would you describe a progressive-rock band that writes concept albums based on a science-fiction story line? The albums are but a gateway to the "Amory Wars," tales that lead vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez portrays in both comic- and full-length book form. Sanchez's distinctive high-pitched voice is a unique characteristic of Coheed and Cambria, especially when partnered with their often huge, Zeppelin-like riffs. Regardless of how much commercial success C&C attain, their die-hard fans will keep this wonderfully quirky band going as long as the story line permits. KEVIN DIERS
(Marymoor Park, Redmond)

KEXP Presents: Jessica Lea Mayfield with Homeschool Past Event Like List
Back in 2016, former Mercury editor Ciara Dolan wrote: "Jessica Lea Mayfield makes badass, spooky rock 'n' roll with dusty country twang and synthy outer-space vibes. Think Cowboys and Aliens meets Mazzy Star. Mayfield's voice grows steadily out of her lush, glittery soundscapes, almost like she's creating a whole new dimension with her sparkly pink electric guitar." She will stop by on tour with support from singer-songwriter Homeschool.
(Tractor Tavern, Ballard)

Lukas Nelson & POTR
Past Event Like List A few things you should know about California cowboys Lukas Nelson & POTR: Firstly, they are the regular backing band of folk-rock king Neil Young. Secondly, Lukas' father is The Ambassador to Weedville himself, Willie Nelson. And thirdly, they can be seen backing up Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in A Star Is Born. With these legends behind them, it’s safe to say this country rock quartet is the real deal.
(Showbox SoDo, SoDo)

Steve Earle & The Dukes
Past Event Like List Legendary folk troubadour Steve Earle will play songs from his new album, Jerry Jeff, with help from his band The Dukes. The album pays tribute to one of Earle’s musical inspirations, the dearly departed outlaw country artist Jerry Jeff Walker.

Seattle's bravest will finally return to the stage for Salon of Shame, a long-running event that transitioned to an online format during the pandemic.

(Neumos, Capitol Hill)

The Regrettes
Past Event Like List Mercury contributor Delaney Motter wrote in 2019: "We could all learn a lesson or two from Los Angeles’ brutally honest punk band the Regrettes—lessons like it’s always better to speak your mind, music is generally better when it’s louder, and there’s no such thing as too young. The band self-released their debut EP Hey! in 2015 when singer Lydia Night was just 14 years old, and caught the attention of Warner Brothers Records." Now on tour supporting their third album, Further Joy, they will take the stage alongside alt-rock artist Alex Lahey. 
(Neptune Theatre, University District)

FRIDAY

FOOD & DRINK

Sunset Supper at Pike Place Market
Past Event Like List At this annual event commemorating Pike Place Market’s anniversary, more than 100 local restaurants, wineries, breweries, distilleries, and other vendors commune on the cobblestones during a balmy August evening, as the sun sinks low in the sky and casts a soft glow, and guests soak up food, drink, and live music. In attendance this year: swanky farm-to-table joint Aerlume; handcrafted pasta makers Pasta Casalinga; charmingly old-timey ice cream parlor Shug’s Soda Fountain; plus countless others and a litany of local beer, wine, and spirits producers.

LIVE MUSIC

Bonnie Raitt: Just Like That...Tour 2022
Past Event Like List Back in 2016, Mercury writer Mark Lore wrote: "Bonnie Raitt didn't make herself really known until she was in her 40s, finally letting the rest of us in on her bottleneck guitar prowess. While some of her recorded output leans toward the adult contemporary stratum, she's one of the best—if not the best blues player alive." The veteran singer-songwriter will return to town with a pair of sold-out shows in support of her 18th studio album, Just Like That...
(Chateau Ste. Michelle, Woodinville)

(Climate Pledge Arena, Uptown)

Pat Benatar with Neil Giraldo Past Event Like List
Feminist rock icon Pat Benatar and her husband, guitarist Neil Giraldo, will once again grace the Northwest with their presence for an evening of '80s classics such as "Love is a Battlefield" and "Heartbreaker."

(Moore Theatre, Belltown)

PERFORMANCE

Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire 2022
Past Event Like List August brings heat, summer malaise, and the annual Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire. And this year, this portal to the Elizabethan era seems a bit too real, with a pox plaguing the people of 2022. At least English peasants weren't forced to know about the Twitter drama surrounding the Lockheed Martin tenderqueer. ANYWAYS, this time-honored tradition beckons city folk to squeeze into tights and bustiers before making their way to the grassy plains of Bonney Lake's Kelley Farm, a land that, for a brief moment, becomes the English town of Merriwick. Over three weekends, Ren Faire-goers are living in a time where pirates, elves, and fairies delight and terrorize humans; turkey legs are the most delicious things on Earth; and men stake their egos on jousting. You can get lit off of mead at alehouses like your ancestors might've in the olden times and tip your hat at Queen Elizabeth herself, who'll grace Merriwick with her presence. There's also an artisan marketplace, where you can tipsily buy a necklace or a hat that you'll literally never wear again. Go drink and be merry and forget about the plagues afflicting our society for but a moment. STRANGER STAFF WRITER JAS KEIMIG
(The Kelley Farm, Bonney Lake, Saturday-Sunday)
