Bob Sumner, Laith & The Texas Birds

Bob Sumner and Laith & The Texas Birds play The Sunset Tavern on Thursday, October 8. The night is presented by Tractor Tavern, which also books the Sunset Tavern. Sumner is coming down from Vancouver, BC, so this is a cross-border stop on his way through the Pacific Northwest.

It's a full bill: Bob Sumner headlines, with Laith & The Texas Birds and Birdie Fenn Cent filling out the rest of the night. That's three acts in one evening, so you'll get a good stretch of music rather than just one set. The Sunset Tavern is at 5433 Ballard Avenue Northwest in Ballard, and it's strictly 21+, so bring your ID—they don't accept vertical IDs for entry, which is a detail worth keeping in mind if yours is one of the newer ones.

Doors open at 7:30 PM, and the music starts at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 on the day of the show, so if you're planning to go, grabbing them early saves you a few bucks. Between the three acts on the bill, the 8:00 PM start should give you plenty to listen to throughout the night.
