I don’t have much else to say other than these guys have a catchy nostalgic sound that old music heads are sure to love.īig Gigantic is one of the most fun live performances you can see. This ska, rock, funk mix will have your feet moving. This is one set you don’t want to miss.įive Alarm Funk is an all instrumental jam band hailing from Canada. He’s a uniquely talented artist that Seattle is lucky to have. He has a smooth hybrid sound reminds me of gospel, R&B, with a lyrical precision that I’ve come to love from Seattle MC’s. It’s hard to decide if his singing or rapping is better, good thing he graces most of his tracks with both. He’s Seattle City Arts Magazine Artist Of The Year, toured with Macklemore and was featured on Mack’s latest album ‘Gemini,’ Dave B is steadily making moves. Greensky tours nationally, hitting 175 venues per year and sells out places like the Ryman Theater and Red Rocks Amphitheater.ĭave B is one of Seattle’s best and brightest. Their latest album, ‘Shouted, Written Down & Quoted’ is their sixth project. They’ve been defining their own sound within the bluegrass genre for the last 15 years and have made several appearances at Summer Meltdown. Greensky Bluegrass is bringing the country/rock twang. Staying with their roots, Summer Meltdown wouldn’t be complete without some bluegrass music. Bassnectar will bring the melt for this year’s Summer Meltdown. His music ranges from heavy electronic bass that makes you want to bang your head and smash the ground like a gorilla, but he also has tracks that make you feel like you’re floating through space and sound on an electric cloud. In the last few years, it draws acts such as Keys & Krates, Sol, Griz, Gramatik, Blue Scholars, and Sir Mix-A-Lot, but this year they’ve attracted one of their most stacked rosters to date that features the likes of Bassnectar, Big Gigantic, Beats Antique and Dave B.īassnectar is a revered artist in the electronic music scene, loved by casual and hardcore fans alike, you’d have a hard time finding someone to say something bad about Lorin Ashton A.K.A Bassnectar.

This music park is surrounded by mountains and forests and is close enough to the North Fork Stillaguamish River for campers to swim in. While it’s been hosting the Darrington Blue Grass Festival for the last thirty years, it’s widely unknown to most festival goers, I just heard about it last year and I’ve been attending music festivals since I was 14 (I’m 27 now), but the secret is up now. The Darrington Blue Grass Music Park is a secret of Washington. The festival takes place within the borders of the Darrington Blue Grass Music Park. Baker – Snoqualmie, and Okanogan – Wenatchee. Darrington is in a carved out section of two adjoining national forests, Mt. Darrington is a small town tucked away in the northwestern part of the state. The Summer Meltdown festival takes place in Darrington Washington. The Summer Meltdown festival is one of Washington’s rising festivals and it’s poised to make a strong run in the coming years. While it’s sad to see Sasquatch go, nothing ever stays the same, and change brings about new adventures. Some believe the music festival bubble is beginning to pop and recede with the death Gorge staple, Sasquatch Festival.
Washington crowds are no slouch either, filled with rambunxious hard working Pacific Northwesterners who love to let loose and party with their favorite bands. Artists love coming to our state for its beautiful amphitheaters like The Gorge, cozy concert houses like The Knitting Factory and Showbox Market.
People may not think of the Pacific Northwest as a popular music destination, but this entire state is constantly graced with musical tours, festivals, and shows from the most popular acts in the world. Electronic Events Music Venues 6 min read
