Tonight I was lucky enough to hear the premier performance of Steel Magic Northwest. Started at my son’s school, it’s grown significantly. They’re now a full-fledged 501c3 nonprofit. It’s been a fun ride watching them grow.
Steel Magic is an Edmond/Lynnwood based steel drum group. The music this evening was quite the blend of styles and composers. They covered Stevie Wonder and Tchaikovsky to original compositions by Gary, the director.
I was quite impressed with their musical quality. A few performers have been with them the full life of this ensemble, but a good many started a few months ago. Their rhythmic and melodic quality were too notch. I’m glad they’re part of our community!
They’re working with Edmonds Seventh Day Adventist. This is where they performed last night. The mixed use room we were they played. was filled to its max.
I suggest that you take time and check out their next performance.
