The Profits are the most serious cover band ever.

They don't seem to have a genre. They play the Violent Femmes to Billy Idol, and both Elvis's (Elvi?)

If you like your dance floor packed and white tie wearing guys, The Profits are your band.

They are diverse enough to vary set lists to the show but focus in on pop and dance. Rather than classics or hair rock, they pull from INXS and Violent femmes with a little cheese and melodies thrown in. 

Stout Pounders is a Seattle based Celtic Folk Rock band and since 2007 the band has brought new energy to time tested Irish and Scottish folk music while mixing in originals with influences ranging from ska to metal, and play regularly around the PNW region. Stout Pounders is a great band for pub atmospheres, music clubs, theaters, and large festivals.

Starting as simply an idea on St. Patrick's Day 2006, when founding members gathered at a pub that lacked the vibe and entertainment they were looking for, it was proclaimed that one year from then they would be the band playing the pubs they enjoyed attending. The rest as they say is history! Stout Pounders grew in size, purpose and popularity, becoming one of the most sought after Celtic acts in the Pacific Northwest. Having played several festivals, pubs, theaters, and events from Canada to Arizona, Stout Pounders has proven to be the band people want to see. With amazing energy, comedic elements, and solid musicianship the band has amassed a strong following and international fanbase of people who just want to have a fun time.

Stout Pounders have opened for, headlined, and shared billings and played with Celtic rock acts such as Young Dubliners, Seven Nations, Screaming Orphans, Derek Warfield and the Young Wolfe Tones, and The Black Donnellys to name a few. They have played live on the air and had their music played on major radio stations, and have 4 self-produced albums, including their most recent live album titled Liver Let Live (2022). They have been the house band of the Seattle St. Patrick's Day Dash since 2009. The band is Darin Wallace: lead vocals, bodhran and tin whistle, Marc Wallace: acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, Christian Hoffman: Bouzouki and Tele-banjo guitar, Jimmy McKnight: Bagpipes, whistles and accordion, Tianna Byrtus: fiddle, Amber Crea: Drums, Phil Tsai: Bass guitar.

Sean Daly grew up during the troubles and from an early age was inspired by music that cried out for freedom. He has carried these songs with him throughout his life where he has championed his homeland through song, story, and action. Sean, knowing every word by heart, singing them from his memories as a young boy, and living the music as a homage to what the ten suffered in the H Block cells. Sean Daly and the Shams are a vibrant and unique offering to the Celtic scene and are not to be missed.
