Presale concerts: Ray Davies, Blue Scholars, Sister Hazel

I wasn’t all that crazy about Ray Davies most recent solo album, but the chance to hear the former Kinks frontman sing something like “Waterloo Sunset” or “A Well Respected Man” would be sweet.

Davies plans to hit the Showbox SoDo on July 19, one of several good shows at Seattle’s two Showbox venues going on sale soon.

I’ve got presale info for Davies’ show below, along with the passwords for a handful of other presales. A brief word on Wyclef Jean, though: I can’t find the event on Ticketmaster.com, but Showbox at the Market released the info seen below. It’s possible it will pop up in the Ticketmaster data base later — or not. I’m not quite sure.

As always, no prices include service charges or other fees.

  • An acoustic performance by Ray Davies, at the Showbox SoDo, Seattle, presale from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday, $40. Presale password is “showbox.” Tickets for the July 19 show on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday.
  • Jesus and Mary Chain, at the Showbox SoDo, Seattle, presale from 10 a.m. Thursday to 10 p.m. Friday, $33. Presale password is “showbox.” Tickets for the July 16 show on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Saturday.
  • Boy George performing the hits of Culture Club and beyond, at the Showbox at the Market, Seattle, presale from 10 a.m. Thursday to 10 p.m. Friday, $37.50. Presale password is “showbox.” Tickets for the July 20 show on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Saturday.
