Massy Ferguson marks album release with Treehouse show

Massy Ferguson has been rocking around the Northwest for decades, but they’re choosing Bainbridge Island on which to host the release party of their latest album, “Great Divides.”

The party is 8 p.m. Saturday, May 11 at the Treehouse Café. Admission is $18 per person, $25 for reserved table seating and open to those 21-and-older only.

Called “Seattle’s longest running, hardest working American Band,” Massy Ferguson is lead by singer-bassist Ethan Anderson, who said “Massy Ferguson is Americana that leans more toward rock than country. Think Drive-By Truckers or some combination of Son Volt and The Hold Steady. Think Springsteen’s ‘Greetings From Asbury Park’ or ‘Nebraska.’”

Those influences, 1970s Southern rock and good-time classic rock bands like Thin Lizzy, have landed the group gigs from Bumbershoot and Nashville to Iceland and England. They’ve shared stages with Tim McGraw, The Bottlerockets, Screaming Trees, and many other superstars.
