August 30, 2025: Intentional Tunes in the Accidental Garden

The Love Markets and I were enchanted to perform again this year at Incidental Tunes in the Accidental Garden, the wonderful summer concert series produced by Maria Lamarca Anderson. It was an honor to close out ITitAG’s fifth season. Thank you to everyone who came out to see us in the wild - and a big thank you to Maria and to the anonymous sponsors who helped her fund our concert!

With ITitAG concert series producer and host, our beloved Maria!

June 28, 2025: Record Release Show for The Love Markets' SHIP OF LIGHT at The Royal Room!

Where do I begin? So many people to thank for this amazing night! The friends, fans, fellow musicians, and Ship of Light donors who all came out and showed us so much love in the house; the pals who took photos and video; the staff at Royal Room who took such good care of us; our wonderful opening act the Half Brothers aka Jed Zeppelin; all the folks who worked on the record; and my four treasured bandmates of 16 years. It was just so dang fun for us to play all those songs and bring the record to happy, sweaty life onstage for you all. The Love Markets love you! Enjoy the record, everybody!

Fab opening act The Half Brothers as Jed Zeppelin!

June 2025: The Love Markets a best-of-summer arts pick on "New Day Northwest"

Big thanks to “ArtZone” host/producer Nancy Guppy for this New Day Northwest piece on The Love Markets and our upcoming record release show! Watch Nancy on New Day Northwest RIGHT HERE (the piece on us starts at 1.22) as she gives you her best picks for summer arts events in Seattle - including our Ship of Light release show at The Royal Room June 28. “A wonderful band… Super-talented musicians… Their fearless leader Angie Louise is an absolute powerhouse… They have this kind of underground cabaret circus feel… and they exude this kind of fun, anything-might-happen vibe onstage.” Thanks, Nancy!

I love you all!

May 2025: Sandbox Radio "Be Prepared" with Angie and The Love Markets

I love composing and music directing for SANDBOX RADIO! Each episode is full of great moments and we enjoy flying by the seat of our pants (or, in the case of The Love Markets, our slips). EPISODE 38: “BE PREPARED” premiered at Town Hall April 25, 2025, with musical guests the Love Markets and the Half Brothers and special guest storyteller Willie Weir. Produced and hosted by Leslie Law and Richard Ziman. Video stills for The Love Markets’ performance courtesy of Sandbox Radio.

Jan 2025: The Love Markets rock The Swedish Club Jan 17!

Thanks to the Swedish Club for showing us such a grand time January 17 and to Don and Karen for making it all happen! The Love Markets and I loved bringing our songs to a new audience. Thanks too to all our peeps who showed up to the standing-room-only party! We’ll be back. (Also - I really love the wallpaper in the bathroom lounge!)

Fri Dec 6: Make Merry with Angie Louise & Dave Pascal

Join Angie and her Love Markets bandmate Dave Pascal for a festive, intimate show sparkling with starry night songs and spiked with potent end-of-year cheer. Raise a glass and kick back as we get our naughty & nice on with soulful vocals, smoky bass, songs of love and mystery, and a stiff shot of Santa-centric musical merriment to warm your spirits. ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Egan’s Ballard Jam House
Doors: 8:30 PM / Showtime: 9:00 PM
Running time: 70 minutes
This show is all ages!

Egan's is located at 1707 Market St in Ballard. It’s a great mom & pop joint with a cozy stage and baby grand, full dinner & bar menu, and cabaret seating. Unlike other venues, Egan's takes 0% of ticket sales, giving 100% to the musicians! In return, they ask only that each patron spend a minimum total of $10 on food and/or drink. Yum!

Thank you for supporting live music!
See you at Egan's... with bells on.

Nov 2024: The Love Markets in "Burlesco Notturno: IGNITE!"

Thanks once again to a great Vashon audience and all the performers who made “IGNITE” light up the night! The Love Markets and I had a brilliant time sharing the stage with the incandescent J Von Stratton, Woody Shticks, Kitten & Lou, Manny Manstands, SpICE and of course host Madame X and her Lawyer. Kudos to Dwight Beckmeyer in for Rob on accordion and Chris Jones in for Dave on bass!

Nov 2024: "Saint or Sinner?"

Thanks to all who attended or gave to “Saint or Sinner?” - you raised over 10K to benefit Seattle Cabaret Festival and Pacific Northwest Cabaret Association and you are wonderful! Pictured: Performer Angie Louise with host Arnaldo! Drag Chanteuse and Aleksa Manila.
