"As a longtime local resident, I was blown away by our hometown band, Pearl Jam," said The Growler Guys owner, Kelly Dole. "What they're doing downtown with The Home Shows made me want to do something up here for our local the community. I could think of no better way to show our love and appreciation than by having a free show in this part of the city."

This alt rock band has all the makings of being the second coming of rock n roll since Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Nirvana took over the world. Gypsy Temple is the band many of us have been waiting for. Even if you don't like rock music, the sheer musicality and spectacle of their live show is worth checking out."

Gypsy Temple band leader, Cameron Myles Lavi-Jones said "We're thrilled to support The Growler Guys because we're from NE Seattle. No matter where our music career takes us, Lake City, Maple Leaf, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park – that's our home forever."
