Time for some Hippie Dancing

It’s that time of year when the music festivals start happening, and that means a chance to see some high class hippie dancing! Seriously, there’s usually at least one guy with a mullet, jogging shorts, tie-dye socks, sandals, and no shirt  dancing off to the side of the stage completely oblivious to anything but the music. And what can you say to that guy? You go, middle aged hippie dancing dude, move whatever way the music inspires until you and the universe become one.

First up for Fundamental Forces is the Jackson Street Jazz Walk on April 2nd. We almost couldn’t play this year due to conflicting gigs, but we were able to find a time slot between other commitments that allowed us kick off the day event’s at 4:30 at Wonder Bar.

And our final gig in April will be the second installment of our Substation series, where we host a guest band and then Fundamental Forces closes out the evening. This month our special guest is the Sam Boshnack Quintet.

We’ll also be playing several other festivals late this summer, including the Shoreline Arts Festival and the Bite of Seattle… stay tuned for more information.

It’s raining and the sun is out…

… must be Springtime in Seattle!

There are a lot of interesting things happening in the Fundamentalist camp this Spring. First up is our regular shindig at Vito’s – This Thursday, March 3rd, starting at 9 pm. Vito’s is my personal favorite of our regular gigs, simply because the bartenders are so nice and the cocktails are so good 😉

After Vito’s we start two regular series – a monthly show at The Substation and a bi-monthly (alternating with Vito’s) at Capital Cider. Capital Cider is up first – where we play on Sunday, March 13th,  from 5:30-8:30 pm. Their food is so good you won’t even notice that it’s gluten-free, and they keep 20 ciders on tap. So there’s that.

Finally, I’m curating a new monthly concert series at Substation in “Freelard”, uh, let’s just call it Ballard. Each month from March through May I’m hosting a guest artist and then Fundamental Forces will close out the evening. This month our guest is guitarist Jason Goessl and his fine trio.

Now go enjoy the sun… and rain.
