Exit 133 and The Helm are proud to present two solo performances by Berkeley-based singer/songwriter Marty Anderson. A local legend of sorts, Marty is best known in Tacoma as the front man of Dilute; a jazz influenced indie rock band that played a couple of highly memorable local shows a few years ago. More recently, Marty has been playing pop based music under the pun-lending name of Okay. Less experimental than Dilute, Okay offers classically structured pop songs and impossibly catchy melodies, which are uniquely delivered in Anderson’s obscure but charming wail. Without a doubt this should be the most relevant and interesting indie performance to hit Tacoma all summer.

Tuesday, August 14th, Okay will play a 21 and over show at Bob’s Java Jive with San Juan (ex-Eyes of Autumn) and Whiting Tennis. Doors will be open at 8PM. Tickets cost $10 and are available at the Blackwater Café and online at www.brownpapertickets.com

Wednesday, August 15th, Okay will play an all ages show at Club SOTA with The Elephants, Wallpaper, and Tree Roots in the Basement. Doors will open at 7PM. Tickets cost $15 presale and $20 at the door. They are also available at Blackwater Cafe or at www.brownpapertickets.com
