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 12^th year.

DIA and WBS will host artists every Thursday night from July 2nd 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 Fins Bistro. They bring lawn chairs, blankets, dancing shoes, and shared enthusiasm.

Performances are also live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube.
