Local teen and string bands to play at Outdoor Movie Night

Ballinger and North City Neighborhoods host their 4th annual Outdoor Movie Night on Saturday, August 25, 7pm at Aldercrest on NE 200th St in Shoreline. This year's movie is Puss in Boots.

Local teen band, The Accountants, will start the evening with their own unique style of music influenced by the Alternative Rock and Indie-Folk of their Seattle roots. Formed in 2011 for a school talent show, the band's music brings together a mix of dueling guitars, powerful drums, moving bass, and unique vocals.  The band's five current members aspire to play local shows but if you can't wait, check out YouTube for music, practices and behind the scenes clips.  You can also follow them on Facebook. 

Our other band is another newcomer to this event. The McGee String Band is a small group, but they have a great time playing music together. They identify their style as Old Songs and Cajun Music.

Both bands will be part of our pre-movie entertainment. Other activities include face-painting, crafts and, this year, a robotics demonstration. Concessions will be selling drinks, snack items and glowsticks. And if you're feeling lucky, take a chance at winning a really terrific prize at our raffle.  Admission is free.
