This year I got to host Band in Seattle‘s Christmas Special with my friend Stephanie Anne Johnson. Tune in December 23 at 8pm and 11pm on CW11 Seattle – KSTW and again on Dec 30 at 8 & 11. The Christmas Special is one hour long, as apposed to the usual 30 minute time slot…
I am so proud to have been a part of this show over the last three seasons.
The chance to bring in Stephanie Walbon and Stephanie Johnson on these specials, and fly to England to do a Brighton Special with King Porter Stomp, was just amazing. But here’s a little secret:
I knew they were mega talented, and once I got the opportunity, I just did what I could to help this great local TV show let these stars shine. I love Band in Seattle. What a show.
There is nothing quite like Band in Seattle anywhere. They even put together a special this Summer highlighting Women in Seattle music, and rumor has it they are planning another one this coming year.
If you are outside CW 11’s Kung Fu like grip on Western Washington from Bellingham to Vancouver, catch all the episodes on youtube. But most famously, they feature a rotation of their most acclaimed episodes on Alaska Airlines in flight.
Catch your boy in prime time Saturday December 23rd and December 30, and Band in Seattle episodes every Saturday on 11 at 11. — with Es Jae.
