“A duet, a couple, a musical endeavor, a family. In short, a very grandiose, small, thing.”

Clearly Beloved was a highlight of the 2018 festival, with a five-piece band of creative mavericks. For the front room, we’ve got a subset spinoff called Immensity Crumb that is sure to bring the same kind of quirky entertainment in duo form.

Seaprog and Substation present…

Clearly Beloved at Seaprog 2018, photo by Danette DavisSeaprog is proud to partner with Substation to bring you the first of what we hope will be many “Seaprog Presents” events. On Thursday, April 11, we’ve got three Seaprog veteran bands scheduled to play a show.

Moraine (2013, 2018) is one of the best known progressive bands in the Northwest, and (obviously) no stranger to our stages. But even if you’ve seen them before, it’s worth catching them now. They’ve got new material, and are fresh off their successful shows opening for the legendary Soft Machine.

Fang Chia (2014) is an eclectic group from Tacoma that combines rock, jazz, electronics, and more into a unique sound all their own. You never know what this band is going to come up with next.

Clearly Beloved (2018) was one of the highlights of last year’s festival, with their catchy, clever, artistic take on progressive folk rock. They don’t perform very often, so don’t miss this chance to catch them on stage.

For quite a few years now, the Substation has been one of Seattle’s best venues for live music, presenting a wide range of artists from many genres. Be sure to check out the Facebook event page for more details and to RSVP.
