The Edgewater, a Noble House Hotel situated on the Seattle waterfront, announced the launch of a music program for hotel guests, Rock Stars & Guitars.

Celebrating its 55th anniversary this year, The Edgewater has a reputation for hosting a long list of world-famous musicians including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, KISS and Led Zeppelin.
