Macklemore and Ryan Lewis in concert
The chart-topping duo of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis sold out the Spokane Arena Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013, the first time a hiphop act has sold out the venue in recent memory. About 8000 came out to hear the duo, partly because Ryan Lewis once lived in Spokane and attended Ferris High School.
