Seafair Records was founded by Tom Ogilvy, a Seattle songwriter and long time supporter of Northwest musicians. The label had several releases, and 1962's "Meet Me In Seattle (At The Fair)" was Seafair's first local hit. Joe Boles had a great Seattle recording studio, and had recorded The Fleetwoods, The Ventures, Bobby Darin, The Frantics and Big Jay Mc Neely. Joe contacted Tom & said "Let's get together---you have the company & I have the recording studio. Tom agreed and said 'Let's call it Bolo after Boles & Ogilvy'". The 60's releases on the Bolo label and it's associated Seafair, Virgelle and Nolta labels read like a who's who of the popular regional performers of the decade. The Viceroys, The Dynamics with Jimmy Hanna, Tiny Tony and The Statics, Walt Wagner and The Exotics and Dave Lewis were all big draws on the local dance circuit, and some of their recordings on the Bolo label sold as well as the national recording artists in Pacific Northwest record stores. Merrilee Rush (Angel of the Morning) appeared on Tiny Tony and The Statics, "Hey, Mrs. Jones". It was her first record. Internationally known jazz guitarist Larry Coryell was a member of The Dynamics, and Virgelle artist Butch Paulson's "Man From Mars" is a novelty cult classic.
Now, the Bolo label has returned with CD reissues of some of the classic 60's recordings, and a number of new CD releases by current artists.
