The Seasons Performance Hall
No upcoming date/times for this event.
When you talk about the music of the Pacific Northwest, the name of Mark Pickerel of Ellensburg must be included in the conversation. His work with The Screaming Trees, among other bands — including Nirvana — is legendary. His work since The Trees is a picture of continual re-invention and striving.
We are proud to announce that his latest project, Mark Pickerel and His Praying Hands, and their latest project — Rebel in the Rearview — will be playing at The Seasons Performance Hall on Thursday, May 20.
“Each chapter of my life has been full of rewards, whether drumming for Truly, Neko Case, Dusty 45s, Brandi Carlile, or writing and singing my own songs, I continue to grow and find so much inspiration from the friends and musicians that surround me,” Pickerel says.
“I was still in high school when we recorded our first two releases so The Screaming Trees role in my life was very pivotal from the start. It basically launched my career,” Pickerel said. Pickerel and Mark Lanegan (singer of Screaming Trees) recorded and jammed on some tunes with Nirvana members Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic in the late 80s prior to the release of Nevermind. A few songs from the session, ended up on the Nirvana box set With the Lights Out.
Pickerel is the only ongoing member of His Praying Hands, with other musicians joining or leaving the group when they are able to.
“I would love nothing more than for the Praying Hands to consist of the same members year after year but But with that brings new opportunities for different explorations that you would never enjoy with one, single line-up so I just try and embrace it and enjoy the chance to play with so many gifted and wonderful people."
