In May, John Carswell, purchased Everett’s former Club Broadway, a historic building located in downtown Everett at 1611 Everett Avenue, and APEX Art and Culture Center was born.
Days later, Carswell announced the Center was building a museum to showcase the Dog Town Collection, the largest graffiti and urban art collection in the world, as well as creating spaces for music, arts and entertainment events in its multi-venue complex.
In November, APEX and EMI announced tickets were on sale for Kings Hall’s two-night launch shows in November 2022. However on November 4th a windstorm that blew through Everett and the north Puget Sound did extensive damage to the roof of the building so the November sneak-peek was cancelled. The new date for the opening is now February 18, 2023.
Tickets already purchased for the November show will be honored in February. If you need a refund, please head to Bold Type Tickets for a refund. Tickets for the new shows are online at https://tinyurl.com/2p99e82y.
On Saturday February 18, the opening night will feature Hell’s Belles, the all-female, globally recognized AC/DC Tribute Band. For more than 20 years, and thousands of shows, Hell’s Belles has been serving up an all out rock-n-roll assault and the most authentic AC/DC show you can find without traveling back in time to the original band’s live shows in the 80’s. The doors will open at 8pm and tickets can be purchased online at everettmusicinitiative.com for $25, or at the door for $30.
