Our incredible community comes together for an unforgettable evening every year to raise funds for Seattle Musicians Access to Sustainable Healthcare (SMASH), a nonprofit dedicated to providing access to free and low-cost healthcare to our region's musicians. The Seattle Times hails the SMASH Benefit as “one of Seattle’s best new concert traditions," generating a significant percentage of SMASH's annual funding. This sell-out event is more than a celebration of music icons, it is a powerful reminder of the unity and resilience of our local music scene. Past guest performers include Dave Matthews, Matt Cameron, Mike McCready, Stone Gossard, Ayron Jones, Shaina Shepherd, Molly Sides of Thunderpussy, Jessica Dobson of Deep Sea Diver, Brittany Davis, Shelby Earl, Ben Gibbard, Duff McKagan, Allen Stone, Mark Pickerel, and many more.

Formed from a lineup of veteran Seattle-area musicians, Wild Rumours performs the music of Fleetwood Mac with love and respect, authenticity and flair. Focusing on the classic albums of the band’s 1970s heyday, Wild Rumours creates a Fleetwood Mac experience designed to transport fans and deliver the music of 1975’s Fleetwood Mac and 1977’s Rumours in all its timeless glory.    Originally conceived as a one-night tribute to these two iconic albums, the members of Wild Rumours found the joy of playing these songs together an irresistible elixir and have since taken their show to stages around the Pacific Northwest. Fronted by the extraordinary vocals and stage presence of Jen Ayers, Wild Rumours is buttressed by the formidable rhythm section of Geoff Reading and Richard Davidson, and flanked by the instrumental prowess of Paul Hiraga, Patrick Porter and Kathy Moore.
