Groove to the music of Walker Sherman
Meet our Founder, Instructors, & Dancers
Fun Silent Auction Items

Walker Sherman grew up on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. He’s the son of a touring artist that left the 70s behind to start a family. His music is distinctly southern and unapologetically Rock N’ Roll with a sound that has been compared to Chris Stapleton, Jack White, and Tom Petty.

Walker has released 10 studio albums across a number of projects including Tacoma based Champaign Sunday, Sound & Fury, Blonde Tiger, The Sherman Family, Keith Musig Trio, The Heartless Kind, and The Heresy. He has opened for such national touring acts as Roger Cline/The Refreshments, Michael Gungor, Charmaine Neville, The Old 97’s, and The Steve Miller Band.

This intimate all acoustic show takes the listener on an emotional journey as the artist reflects upon five years of loss and reinvention, inviting you to reflect on the beauty and absurdity of our travels.

Walker has been called “a songwriter’s songwriter” and “The PNW music scene’s best kept secret”, serving up bar room stompers and earnest vocals in equal measure…a perfect blend of southern soul and Tacoma grit!

We gratefully thank The Mill Steakhouse + Spirits for supporting our community and making this event possible!

The Backstage Foundation funds opportunities for youth development and core value training
through dance education, self-expression, and involvement within a safe community.
