2011 Lineup

July 6
March Fourth Marching Band w/ Lucky Brown
|
|
| |
For sheer foot-stomping, joy-making fun, you couldn’t beat the March Fourth Marching Band from Portland, Ore. It was a blend of burlesque, vaudeville, horn-driven funk and marching band madness. The costumed horde, many with their faces painted and several on death-defying stilts, made for the kind of spectacle that deserves the word awesome.” -Atlanta Journal Constitution |
| |
Lucky Brown and his band strive to use the power of collective rhythm and harmony to deliver a message of unity, creativity, peace and joy. The way the band works together to co-create something greater than the sum of it's parts serves as a metaphor for the way communities must interact. Since brown is also the color of the Earth, Lucky reminds us that as we look toward humankind's brighter spiritual future, we are so lucky to dance together now on the dirt!

Kytami w/ Snug Harbor
|
Kytami, formerly with Delhi 2 Dublin, is a violin revolutionary. An unbelievably energetic performer, she bounds between classical and fiddle styles. With her abilities, style and devilish smile, she has won over audience after audience, appearing at most major festivals across Canada and the Western U.S. as well as performing overseas in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Berlin and Dubai. |
| |
|
Snug Harbor isa funk-soul-fusionensemble, tucked away in the corner of the Northwest. Their ages range from 21-36, and their passion for music is exercised and recognized during every live performance. Fans of Snug Harbor can expect to witness high energy funk and soul music with jazz infusions, as each live show contains elements of improvisation on heavy funk grooves.

July 20
Acorn Project w/ The Polyrythmics
|
|
Formed in 2002 from basement jam-session beginnings, original members came together in the most incubescent way. Not one member had played in any organized musical group. For this reason they chose the name Acorn Project in 2004 symbolizing their collective effort to grow as a musical entity with focus and dedication for their passion for live music.
Deep electro-funk grooves and sonic instrumental exploration interlaced with a provocative indie-rock song writing ability have become the signatures of Bellingham, Washington’s Acorn Project. |

|
The Polyryhthmics are an all original 8-piece Funk and Afro-beat Orchestra comprised of some of Seattle’s finest rhythmic and melodic musicians.
|
July 27
Flowmotion w/ Tea Seas Little Big Band
|
Hidden beneath the bows of the Northwest evergreens is found Flowmotion, one of Seattle’s most distinctly diverse rock bands. This is an act that fails to fall into an easily packaged genre, succeeds in defying stereotypes, and throws one hell of a party no matter what city, town or festival the five-piece band happens to land in.

Tea Seas Little Big Band

August 3
The Moondoggies w/ Polecat and w/ Robert Sarazin Blake
|
|
| |
The Moondoggies evoke the roots-rock sounds of a time that they weren’t even around for: the ‘70s. This ain’t re-hash though. These Seattle boys have got great songs, killer harmonies, and most importantly, tons of soul. |
| |
|
Success may not happen overnight, but for Bellingham five-piece Polecat, it seems like it has.The bluegrass band’s been together for just a little more than a year, and has already released one EP, opened for several established groups, including Seattle’s the Moondoggies, and is currently taking to the road in promotion of its debut full-length album, “Fire on the Hill.” |
Singing, writing, and strumming songs of lost loves, bicycles, old hotels, politics and long hot drives, Robert Sarazin Blake has rambled coast to coast singing in basements, bars, backyards, and holding cells. There is always a moment in a Blake show where the room pulls together and the space between the singer, the song, and the listener disappears.
