American singer-songwriter Jake Xerxes Fussell performs his indie, folk and Americana music with support from Dougie Poole at the historic Tractor Tavern.
Jake Xerxes Fussell plays Tractor Tavern on Sunday, November 8, with Dougie Poole joining him on stage. The show starts at 8 PM, and the venue is at 5213 Ballard Ave NW in the Ballard neighborhood.
Fussell is a singer-songwriter from Durham, North Carolina, and his music pulls from a few different traditions at once. It sits across indie, folk, and Americana, and it also touches on 'American Primitive' guitar—that fingerstyle approach that puts the instrument front and center. It's the kind of sound that works just as well in a quiet room as it does on a stage, and having Dougie Poole with him adds another layer to the mix.
The Tractor Tavern has been a fixture in downtown Ballard for more than 30 years, and it's one of the spots in the city that's kept a steady schedule of nightly entertainment since it opened. It's a good fit for a night like this—a songwriter's bill in a room that's spent decades hosting live music.
