Nathan Chance & North Coast - AKA The KMPS House Band
Nathan Chance & North Coast is also the official KMPS house band and has played at many KMPS events including most recently the Rascal Flatts Pre-Party at the Tacoma Dome.
What started as just a couple guys from Montana and Canada gettin' together to combine followings soon took off into regional phenomenon. Since the inception of "Nathan Chance" in May of 2006, the boys have opened for National-caliber Acts such as Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Shedaisy, Brooks n' Dunn, George Strait and most recently.... Rascal Flatts. Their following continues to grow in the northwest due in large part to the support of major market stations like KMPS of Seattle. Their style of country music has been labeled "Industrialized Country" by producers in Nashville. Fans from all over the Pacific Northwest continue to flock to shows as they've come to expect the best "regional" entertainment around. Come see for yourself how two small town boys have managed to capture the attention of big crowds. Welcome to Nathan Chance Country...

"I don't know where this stuff comes from. The songs write me, I don't write them. I certainly have tons of life experiences and a great imagination, but sometimes the beauty or perfection of a line I've just written can surprise me."

Bullitt County is a band born of the triple flames of OCTANE, LIQUOR, and DAMNATION.

Mixin' elements of Southern Rock, Punk, Outlaw Country, and even a little Rockabilly here and there, they aim to make even the most prim and proper among us wanna shake their butts to the beat and belch out loud at a big ol' barbecue. Grab a couple o' sixers, folks, 'cause it's all down hill from here...

Rising star, Ellensburg-based Star Anna has an innate ability to find comfort in a place of discomfort where pain and heartache are their only friend. Like the lonely call of a wolf on a winters night, her voice is haunting, stirring, yet strangely familiar.

They are currently celebrating the release of their first album, Crooked Path (the meaning of Star Anna's last name, Krogstie, in Norwegian). The album is available March 4th on Malamute Records.
