Seattle’s best musicians gather on February 25, 2023, for GeorgeFest to honor the late, great George Harrison and raise money for the Historic Everett Theatre


On Saturday, February 25, 2023, over 25 of Seattle’s premier musicians will take the stage for GeorgeFest, to honor the late George Harrison. Proceeds from this labor of love will benefit the Historic Everett Theatre, a non-profit, 122-year-old venue in the heart of downtown Everett, Washington.

“George was known as the “quiet” Beatle,” said Andy Volmer, organizer of GeorgeFest at the Historic Everett Theatre. “His songs are relevant today, including his hits with the Beatles and his solo work. We wanted to share his music with the Puget Sound while helping out this beautiful community art space.”

An all-star cast of Seattle's most talented musicians will pay tribute to the late great George Harrison on what would have been his 80th birthday. 

Players from great local bands like Apple Jam, The Nowhere Men, Wings -n- Things, Petty Thief, Wasted on the Way, Kings of Hollywood, Laurel Canyon Legacy, Rockfish and Friends, The Kellee Bradley Band, The Trailer Park Kings, Highway 9, and Herding Cats, to name just a few. Don't miss this fantastic night of all things George.
