The third installment of Seattle's festival of art and progressive rock took place August 7-9, 2015. Friday evening at the Royal Room was a great success, and Saturday and Sunday at the Columbia City Theater featured an amazing variety of music. Two international artists, Debora Petrina from Italy and Nik Turner from England, augmented our usual assortment of local talent. MoeTar came in from California, and even Kingston, Washington was represented.

Held: August 7, 2015 — August 9, 2015
