Great Moments in Bumbershoot History: Man Man (2008)
As I start to dwell on the modern era of Bumbershoot history, trends become more and more obvious and the lineups start to lose their unshakable tinge of nostalgic timeliness.

Great Moments in Bumbershoot History: John Legend (2007)
By 2007 I felt like a Bumbershoot savant. I knew when to stand in line for comedy, how early you needed to go to the Sky Church, and, finally, to wait until Sunday afternoon to splurge on precious Flatstock booty. By the final day of the festival, I was looking for a low-key spot to start off the end of my weekend.
Great Moments in Bumbershoot History: Kanye West (2006)
I think it’s fair to say Bumbershoot’s lineup in 2006 is preposterous. Honestly. Look at it. The most bittersweet part of this project reflecting on each year and noticing huge artists who, at the time, were playing at 12:30pm on a lawn in Seattle Center, trying to win over a few early go-getters who’re just waiting for a fresh elephant ear before dipping into the main stage to fight to the front row.
CHBP 2014: Day 3 Recap
The afternoon began with another spine-tingling performance from Midwestern singer-songwriter, Angel Olsen. Her set was backed by the same band we saw back in February, but the overall show was more conducive to their early afternoon daylight setting. Rather than opting for an ominous, shadowy setlist, their stage-time was devoted to friendlier introductions to Olsen’s fork-tongued wit and solitary clamor.
CHBP 2014: Day 2 Recap
Day two of Capitol Hill Block Party seemed to start slower than Friday. Crowds started to form quietly as the day went on and, before long, the festival grounds felt hectic and cozy, like a beehive if every third bee wore a bro-tank.
