Gas Station Blues™ Reappears with Luminous Lineup
Notable Musical Artists Return to Historic Shell
ISSAQUAH, Wash., July 2, 2026 – The Downtown Issaquah Association (DIA) and the Washington Blues Society (WBS) resume the hot music summer series for its 12th year.
DIA and WBS will host artists every Thursday night from July 2nd&nbsp;through August 27th from 7 to 9 pm, at the Historic Shell Station located at 232 Front Street North. The artists represent diverse backgrounds, genres, and musical styles and draw crowds from throughout Washington state.
“Gas Station Blues is one of the most popular music series in the Seattle area,” said Christina Bruning. “We are honored to attract such acclaimed artists, bringing listeners back again and again.” The series is live at Historic Shell but also streamed on DIA’s YouTube and Facebook channels.
Concert visitors to the Historic Shell often picnic in the adjacent Centennial Park with takeout from local restaurants, or they can purchase refreshments on-site from <a href="https://www.finsbistroissaquah.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Fins Bistro</a>. They bring lawn chairs, blankets, dancing shoes, and shared enthusiasm.

Sky River Mead and Wine

Learn basic techniques while painting a constellation inspired by astrology, myth, or the night sky. No experience needed.
The stars have stories—this class helps you paint one of them.
Join us for a relaxed, very beginner-friendly introduction to watercolor where you’ll create your own celestial artwork inspired by the night sky. Paint your favorite constellation: your astrological sign, the sign of someone you love, a myth-rich cluster of stars, or a constellation that simply speaks to you.
We’ll cover watercolor basics, simple techniques, and how to build depth and glow—no experience required, just curiosity and a willingness to play. Think stardust, soft washes, and a little creative magic.
Held during Studio Night at Sky River Mead, this evening is the perfect excuse to sip, paint, and reconnect with your creative side.

<h1>Sip wine and enjoy fine art, crafts, live music, and performance:</h1>
