February 3, 2005 This 4-piece acapella "jazz and rock
sensation" will perform at 7pm at the Stanwood Performing Arts Center,
located at Stanwood High School. The Coats vocal band started on the
street corners of Seattle, Washington's famous Pike Place Market. Singing
for tourists, locals, fish vendors, and fellow buskers, their humble
ambitions of earning a few clams to fight off the tuition bills quickly
evolved into a full-time international performance career. They've since
won national vocal competitions, sang for the President of the United
States, and have been fortunate enough to share the stage with such
talented fellow entertainers as Ronnie Milsap, Trisha Yearwood, Montgomery
Gentry, The Beach Boys, Tanya Tucker, Billy Dean, Crystal Gayle, and Colin
Ray, just to name a few, all while continuing their tradition of outreach
performances and workshops supporting music in schools throughout the
northwest.
