Seaprog announces stellar 2020 lineup
Buoyed by the success of last year's event, Seaprog, Seattle's annual festival of progressive and psychedelic music, is thrilled to present what may be our most formidable lineup to date, on the weekend of June 5-7 at the historic Columbia City Theater.
This year's headliners are the legendary Nektar, the Jane Getter Premonition (featuring instrumental luminaries Adam Holzman, Alex Skolnick, Mark Egan, and Chad Wackerman), and San Diego psych phenoms Monarch. Rounding out the lineup in characteristically genre-stretching fashion are Baltimore kosmische Musik duo Wume, Russian avant-prog cosmonauts HAPPY55, and of course a bevy of the Pacific Northwest's finest musical explorers, including Bellingham's Smooth Kiwi, Kingston's Isthmusia, and Seattle artists Crystal Beth and the Boom Boom Band, Nosretep, Bimble Awry, and John L. Rice (with additional acts to be announced). Detailed descriptions and links to samples can be found at http://seaprogfest.org/artist/index/2020.html ; the festival schedule at http://seaprogfest.org/artist/schedule/2020.html
In a Seaprog first, we're also kicking off the festival with a cinema night on the preceding Thursday, June 4, with a screening of the acclaimed documentary Romantic Warriors IV: Krautrock by filmmakers Adele Schmidt and Jose Zegarra Holder, with a discussion to follow, at the lovely Beacon Cinema.
