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.

May 2024: The Love Markets at The Triple Door and Seattle Cabaret Festival

The Love Markets returned to The Triple Door May 4 to open Seattle Cabaret Festival 2024! We had a blast and the fabulous Dwight Beckmeyer rocked it on accordion, filling in for Rob Witmer. Thanks to everyone who attended this sold-out show and gave us so much love! Thanks also to the great audiences who kept the rest of the festival hopping at Egan’s - I had a great time doing my solo show there, with bandmate Dave Pascal by my side on bass.

Love Markets left to right: Chris Monroe (drums), Angie Louise (vocals, songs, keys); Dwight Beckmeyer (in for Rob Witmer on accordion); Dave Pascal (bass); and on the bottom, David Marriott Jr. (trombone).

April 2024: Angie performs at ACT Re-Engagement Party

I had the pleasure and honor of performing at this year’s 2024 ACT Theatre gala (the brilliantly conceived Re-Engagement Party!). What an inspiring night! I was too in the moment to take pix, but am sharing memories here of just some of the many joyful times I’ve had on all ACT’s beautiful stages. In addition to being a mainstay of brave and thoughtful theatre in Seattle for 50+ years, ACT has created so much support and opportunity for artists’ new work (including me and The Love Markets) and fostered so many collaborations. We are ever grateful. A toast to every ACT donor, large and small!

Feb 2024: "Shooting Palmer" by Angie Louise & Sue Corcoran gets a sponsored reading

Thank you to Northwest Screenwriters’ Guild and Northwest Film Forum for sponsoring this public reading of SHOOTING PALMER, a New York Screenplay Contest Finalist and female-powered sci-fi comedy feature written by Angie Louise (me!) and Sue Corcoran for Von Piglet Productions. Thanks too to my fellow actors at the reading, all the other great folks who pitched in, and our audience for coming out and laughing at the laugh lines. Sue & I have made two feature films together (see past shenanigans below); we’re hoping Shooting Palmer may be the third…

Sue and Angie at the Pacific Place SIFF premiere of our second feature, Ira Finkelstein’s Christmas.

Real life!

Dec 2023: The Love Markets play 17th Annual Tom Waits Night

Tom Waits Tribute Night at Conor Byrne Pub… the perfect way to kick off the season of wintry cheer, hot toddies, and rain dog camaraderie. Sold out and jam packed with fans once again, this was The Love Markets’ eleventh stage appearance at this 17-year tradition, and there’s no other night like it. Thank you Diarmuid, Ayako Okano + Tsubaki, Sam Russell and the Harborrats, Bad Apples and everyone who makes this thing soar! All proceeds donated to MusiCares. I hope to see you there in 2024!

Nov 2023: The Love Markets in "Burlesco Notturno: ALCHEMY!"

“Alchemy” - our 17th appearance with the Burlesco Notturno series! This Vashon cirque-variete extravaganza hosted by Madame X presents The Love Markets performing our songs, interspersed with killer acts from top Seattle burlesque troupe The Atomic Bombshells and sundry guest artists on acro, aerial, and who knows what - each show is unique. Stay tuned for the next one in November 2024.

Feb 2023: Workshopping Bilingual "Go, Dog. Go!" at Seattle Children's Theatre

What a joy to work again with playwright Allison Gregory, playwright-director Steven Dietz, and musical director Rob Witmer on “Go, Dog. Go!” at SCT - this time to workshop a new BILINGUAL version in English and Spanish (all mixed up together!) in collaboration with translator Ana Maria Campoy. In 2011 and 2017, I put in 200+ shows as Hattie the pink poodle; this time around I served as co-musical director with Rob as these awesome new dogs got down to business in two languages. I’m eager to see where this wonderful new version goes!

Dec 2022: 16th Annual Tom Waits Night with The Love Markets!

Dec 3, 2022 - Sold out and then some! This beloved annual celebration of the songs of Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan raised over $2000 for MusiCares. Happy 73rd birthday to Tom and big thanks to Diarmuid at Conor Byrne, event producer Ayako Okano, and all those irrepressible rain dogs in the crowd. Kudos to Dwight Beckmeyer making his Love Markets debut subbing for Rob Witmer on accordion, and Brian Mueller in for Dave Marriott on trombone!

Nov 2022: The Love Markets in "Burlesco Notturno: INSATIABLE"!

INSATIABLE says it all: after three years on pandemic ice, Burlesco Notturno is back, en fuego! It was wonderful being back on the Grand Hall stage at Open Space and so good to reunite with all our favorite Burlesco colleagues - Madame X and her Lawyer, the Atomic Bombshells (Kitten & Lou! Inga! Indigo Blue!), and all the folks whose efforts make this extravaganza happen… including the sold-out crowd. Congrats to trombonist Brian Mueller for a fabulous job subbing for Dave Marriott! What fun.

Oct 2022: Angie in "The Witching Hour" at Vashon Center for the Arts

I am ghoulishly glad to report that this Oct 30 spooktacular at VCA raised over 5K for Pacific Northwest Cabaret Association! Thanks to everyone who attended, in person or virtually. The carnivalesque John Engerman and enchanting butterfly Dave Pascal gave me such stylish support on my brew of witchy tunes including Donovan’s “Season of the Witch”, Nick Lowe’s beautiful ballad “The Beast In Me”, and the epic “My Barbie Was the Tramp of the Neighborhood” by Scott Warrender (from his brilliant revue TEXAS CHAINSAW MANICURIST, which he directed me in as a mere whippersnapper of a girl when I first landed in Seattle in the 1990s!). Kudos to all who made this event a success and the kind folks at the gorgeous Vashon Center for the Arts.
