Fisherman’s Village Music Festival About three years ago, the Everett Music Initiative was created to bring more live music to downtown Everett. That’s right, Everett. Last year’s inaugural Fisherman’s Village Music Festival, the Initiative’s flagship project, was a surprising success. As far as I’m concerned, they’ve already knocked it out of the park this year with a lineup that includes some SW staff favorites: Say Hi, So Pitted, Telekinesis, Fauna Shade, Ravenna Woods, Prom Queen, Deep Creep, and Led to Sea. All ages. DML Downtown Everett, Hoyt Ave, Everett $30-$49 Sunday, May 17, 2015

Barry Manilow Barry Manilow’s worst-kept secret-actually not a secret at all-is that he was a prolific jingle writer. Who could forget “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there”? Or “I am stuck on Band-Aid brand, ‘cause Band-Aid’s stuck on me.” Or my all-time favorite: “Give your face something to smile about . . . with Stridex!” Despite a willingness at his early concerts to embrace this part of his past with a medley, something tells me we won’t be seeing Manilow perform these diabolical earworms-but a man can dream, can’t he? With Dave Koz. All ages. WL KeyArena (Seattle Center), 305 Harrison St., Seattle, WA 98109 $17.75-$125.75 Wednesday, May 27, 2015, 7:30pm
