In early December, Seattle’s alternative radio station 107.7 The End held their annual Deck the Hall Ball holiday concert series. This year, I had the pleasure of photographing the event for the fifth year. Held at KeyArena, this year’s sold out Seattle event had a stellar lineup and amazing hosts, most of whom were station DJs.
Among the most riveting performances of the night included Alabama Shakes led by Brittany Howard and crowd favorites Twenty One Pilots and Walk the Moon. Cage the Elephant also made an appearance for the second year in a row. Fresh off the release of their latest album, Tell Me I’m Pretty, lead singer Matthew Schultz was in high spirits, stage diving into the crowd several times just within moments of taking the stage. Closing out the night were hometown heroes Death Cab for Cutie, who also debuted a new album Kintsugi, this year.
This year’s lineup included Deep Sea Diver, X Ambassadors, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Twenty One Pilots, Walk the Moon, Alabama Shakes, Cage the Elephant, and Death Cab for Cutie.
