Mountlake Terrace resident and musician Chris Yates didn’t have to look far for a gig to perform at on Independence Day. Yates and his band Sly Mr. Y has been booked to provide the musical entertainment at this week’s Mountlake Terrace Family Fourth of July.
The evening’s activities are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.; an aerial fireworks display is set for 10 p.m. The free event will take place at the soccer field of Evergreen Playfield in the 5400 block of 224th Street
Yates and his band have been popular performers at recent Tour de Terrace festivals in Mountlake Terrace, often performing on Friday nights following the conclusion of the festival’s parade. Sly Mr. Y is scheduled to take the stage at this year’s Tour de Terrace in late July.
Sly Mr. Y is described as “a high-energy classic rock dance band,” and plays a variety of covers from the ’60s, ’70s, ;80’s and more, with the occasionally original song thrown into the set.
