Today the consortium of entities working to preserve and revitalize Seattle’s long-standing arts festival at the Seattle Center, Bumbershoot, announced the lineup for the 2015 event scheduled for September 5-7 this fall at the Seattle Center.
Gregory Heller – It feels rare these days for a band to put out a concept album that can stand on the merits of the music up without any knowledge of the concept. Lord Huron is a such a band. And Strange Trails is such an album.
Kevin Nelson – Ever hear of Kathryn Calder? No? She just happens to be a key member of one of the most influential Canadian Indie Pop bands of all time.
Eastern Souvenirs, the vehicle for singer/songwriter Brian Fisher, make intricate, percussive music with guitar, synthesizers and a variety of percussion instruments from around the world. It’s the kind of stuff that typically has fans of Talking Heads and the Feelies creaming in their art school shorts.
Marcus Shriver – With hard-hitting, bluesy punk rock and one of the most entertaining shows you’ll ever see, Seattle band THUNDERPUSSY RAWKED every part of Humpin’ Hannahs at the Treefort Music Festival last month.
