The Magic Carpet Ride sells out Seattle's Hard Rock Cafe
Seattle PI Blog - May 2, 2010
The Hard Rock Cafe lived up to its name Friday (April 30) with a hard-rocking lineup of local bands led by The Magic Carpet Ride, featuring original Steppenwolf keyboardist Goldy McJohn.
Anyone who doubts the new Seattle Hard Rock Cafe's viability as a concert venue should have been at the show.
The upstairs nightclub was packed with nearly 500 patrons for a full evening of rock 'n' roll that included such guests as Leon Hendrix, rock singer Somar Macek (backed by Roger Fisher and Steve Fossen, formerly of Heart), Heart tribute band Heartless, rock band Three Quarter Minus (billed as surprise guests") and singer Gretchen Christopher, who led Olympia group The Fleetwoods in the late '50s and sang such hits as Come Softly to Me" and Mr. Blue." The show concluded with a blistering set by Witchburn.
