Burdett has classic Seattle roots. Her father, Vaughn Abbey, played double bass in the Seattle Symphony in the ‘30s and ‘40s, as well as tuba in the Seattle World’s Fair marching band. She studied bass with Leslie “Tiny” Martin, also of the SSO (and the city’s hippest swing band, the Gay Jones Orchestra), and at 14, Burdett was subbing for her dad in the Esquires at the Washington Athletic Club.
A trip to Orcas during the summer months is a welcome retreat for Seattleites looking to escape urban doldrums in favor of the natural beauty and relaxed vibe of the islands. A visit to Wild Island to take in a set or two and enjoy healthy, world-class cuisine in an idyllic setting is an intriguing option.

We are excited to announce another exciting slate of brilliant artists—both established and emerging, from Seattle and around the world—coming to you this fall in a setting that fits your preference
