Spot the band is giving a break
to Shelton songbird Seairra
A young singer fom Shelton re-
cently unleashed a tw tunes with
Spot the Dog when they performed
for a crowd at the farmers' market
in Olympia.
Seairra Haskell was inspired
to sing her heart out in July when
she attended the American Idol
Concert at the Tacoma Dome. Jor-
dan Sparks, a contestant in the
popular TV talent hunt, gave the
audience a few encouraging words.
"She said that if" you ever have a
chance to sing and it's something
you want to do, go fbr it," Haskell
said.
Seairra met Spot, a traveling
band, at her grandfather's com-
pany picnic at Alder Lake in the
summer of last year. She asked
the band if she could join them
fbr a song and sang "Landslide,"
a number she'd heard sung by
the Dixie Chicks when her morn,
Dawn Shaver, took her to their
concert in June 2006 as a present
tbr her 13th birthday. "I was very
nervous, but I wanted to impress
my grandpa," she said.
That went so well that she re-
hearsed with the band three or
four times and was ready to join
them for a sit-down in Olympia
when school let out for the sum-
met. "She's been singing her whole
life, and we've been trying to en-
courage her," said Billie Plummer,
her grandmother. "She's loved
singing her whole liib, and she
writes songs."
After her performance in Olym-
pia she had a return engagement
with Spot the Dog at this years
staging of the annual company
picnic of KBA Associates. Her
repertoire now includes "You're
Beautiful" and "The Heart Will Go
On," the theme song of the movie
Titanic. Seairra will be attending
Oakland Bay Junior High School.
GREG ALDERETE of Spot the Dog accompanies young
Seairra Haskell as she sings at a recent performance at
the farmers' market in Olympia. She attends Oakland Bay
Junior High.
