Posts about event artists
Isthmusia is a young band out of Kingston, Washington, proving that you really can’t guess where good music will be made. They are nothing if not eclectic, blending heavy elements with lighter sounds, powerful crashing with tricky math rock.

General Mojo’s (formerly known as General Mojo’s Key Project) is a Seattle band led by Dune Butler, who brings his love of British Invasion music from the 60s along with more modern bands. He is joined by fellow travelers met at the UW and elsewhere, and together they make far-ranging (and far-reaching) music that provides surprises at every turn.

Debora Petrina is an Italian composer, singer, and instrumentalist with a widely varied career spanning the worlds of modern Classical music and art rock. Her 2009 debut album, In Doma, featured such guests as Elliott Sharp and Amy Kohn, and earned a spot on David Byrne’s web radio. She has since worked with Byrne, Seattle phenom Jherek Bischoff, John Parish, Mike Sarin, Paolo Fresu, and others.
She has the unusual honor of having a piece published by Edition Peters signed with John Cage.

The Central Committee is happy to announce the first set of confirmed artists for our 2015 festival. All the way from Italy, we’ve got the amazing Debora Petrina, a singer and composer who has worked in the worlds of Classical music and modern styles. Our California quota this year is being filled by the wonderful MoeTar, who have been building a name for themselves in the prog world lately.
And of course, Seattle will be well represented by Upwell and General Mojo’s Key Project, two amazing bands that couldn’t be more different.
More announcements will be made as arrangements are finalized — we’re working on quite a few wonderful things!
