Hundreds of islanders turned out for the penultimate performance in this year’s Concerts in the Park series, filling Ober Park as Bowie/Rex & His Boogie Army took to the stage for a raucous celebration of 1970s and 80s-era glam rock, punk and new wave music.

The band was fronted by island record producer and mixer Martin Feveyear, channeling his musical hero, David Bowie, from top to bottom — clad in a florescent orange wig, feather boa, face paint, sequined jacket and pants, and outrageously high silver platform boots.

Backed by a supergroup made up of Northwest rock legends including Dave Dederer, Tim Dijulio, Michael Musberger, Bill Stover and Jeremy Lightfoot, as well as glitter-clad singers dubbed The Suffragette Sisters, Feveyear brought the audience to its feet with a set list of classic bangers by Bowie, Marc Bolan & T-Rex, Roxy Music, The Cars, The Kinks, and the Talking Heads.

For some audience members, the show was a time capsule, transporting Gen Xers and Boomers back across the decades to more exuberant, carefree times in their lives. But for a younger set, it was all brand new.

And when Feveyear invited kids in the audience to join him on the stage as he performed “Let’s Dance,” the audience came together as one. As the kids pogoed and spun across the stage, their grandparents and parents watched and danced along — ricocheting between nostalgia and the joyous present moment.

The magic trick of the decades-old music held, encapsulating cross-generational connection and inclusivity on a warm summer night on Vashon.

The Concerts in the Park series, curated by Vashon Events for Vashon Park District, has drawn raves from islanders this year, with standout performances by Publish the Quest, the Ian Moore Band, Lorarno and Bowie/Rex.

“It just keeps getting better and better in the park,” said Pete Welch. “What a fun series it has been. I’ve never seen so many people dancing in the park like this before.”

The free concert series will conclude at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 31, at Vashon Center for the Arts, with the Djeliyah Band taking the stage after an opening act by islanders Anna Hicks and Zoey Rice opening the show. The decision to move the show from Ober Park was made on Thursday morning, due to rain.

The Djeliyah Band fuses traditional Djeli music with modern Guinea music from West Africa. It’s orchestrated by multi-talented Djeli, Aboubacar “Boka” Kouyaté, of Kankan, Guinea, West Africa.
