To continue with some of the Bumbershoot coverage, we are going to be posting a few of the live KEXP “Secret Show” Music Lounge events that went on that weekend. The first show for Bumbershoot was St. Vincent and why not start there!

The very beautiful and talented Regina Spektor archetype (on guitar), Marissa Nadler, graced the Showbox stage early last night, willed with the duty of opening for Swedish superstars Pater Bjorn and John. Her gently lilting guitar arpeggios and graceful voice floated warmly over the cold early fall air rushing in through the double doors of [...]

The affable San Francisco two piece headlined the Crocodile Wednesday (9/19) night, and were welcomed to the stage by throngs of eager fans- eclectic, yet excited all the same. Seattle, being one of the hodgepodge music epicenters of the US will definitely make for this kind of an audience at a concert.

Friday September 14th, on Bodies of Water’s latest tour with Karl Blau they were supposed to have a stop in Santa Cruz, CA, but due to an unexpected cancellation they had to try and find a quick alternative. In comes a Santa Cruz local named Stanley who coerced his mother into letting the band play [...]

Andrew Bird started off the day for us at the KEXP Music Lounge. He played an absolutely amazing solo set as opposed to his full band set the night before. Both shows were [...]

Our second day at Bumbershoot wasn’t quite as packed as the first, but still was pretty busy. Some definite highlights were shooting Art Brut, Andrew Bird, and Devendra Banhart. Again the KEXP Music Lounge was great to catch acts earlier in the day which we might have missed otherwise.

Our first show for the day was [...]

This year was our first for attending Bumbershoot. We caught many great bands and met a lot of wonderful people from various news/blog sites. Over the course of the 3 days we probably walked well over a few miles each day and none was as busy as the first day, September 1.
We spent the night [...]
