We’re happy to have found a new home for some of our events. On Saturday June 27, 2026 we’re bringing a great triple bill to Kenyon Hall in West Seattle.
Kenyon Hall is a great little theater in a friendly neighborhood that operates as a non-profit for the community’s benefit, and we’re happy to partner with them to bring creative music to life. The theater has recently finished a substantial remodel, and with a bigger stage and upgraded sound and lights, it should be an excellent place for Seaprog shows.
And who do we have on the bill for this first show? We are very thrilled to have a rare live performance by Immensity Crumb, who made a big impression in the front room at the 2019 festival. Once again, they will be featuring a string quartet to bring their unique chamber folk rock to life. This will be the live debut of material from their second album, which came out to positive reviews earlier this year.
Rik Wright is a Seattle guitarist with a long history in the area, and he was part of the group that presented Zero G Concerts, a sort of precursor to Seaprog. He’ll be joining us with his band Fundamental Forces for some boundary-stretching jazz. As it happens, this will be the release show for their new album, Fool’s Fate.
And finally, a local band we’ve been hoping to work with for several years — Fian. This is a very eclectic band with a lot going for them, both instrumentally and vocally.
2026 has been a year of ups and downs, and it’s only May as of this writing. The next up is a show we’re really looking forward to for several reasons.
First off, it’s the first of what we hope will be many events at Kenyon Hall in West Seattle. This lovely neighborhood theater is recently remodeled and upgraded, and should be an excellent venue for our artists. It’s run as a non-profit, so it fits in with our artistic vision. And there are a couple of handy establishments next door for food and drink.
As for the bill, we’ve got an especially varied combination of artists. There’s the progressive chamber folk of Immensity Crumb, the theatrical art rock of Fian, and the boundary-stretching electric jazz of Rik Wright’s Fundamental Forces.
Rik Wright’s Fundamental Forces is the Seattle-based flagship ensemble of guitarist and composer Rik Wright, serving as the primary vehicle for his original compositions and long-evolving creative vision. Drawing on jazz, progressive rock, blues, and cross-cultural influences, the group blends a wide-ranging rhythmic and harmonic palette into music that is both structurally nuanced and deeply groove-oriented.
Defined by deep ensemble interplay and rich, layered textures, Fundamental Forces prioritizes collective expression over soloistic flash, shaping a distinctive, genre-fluid voice. Across multiple recordings, the group has earned critical recognition in the contemporary jazz landscape, with strong national support on jazz radio and consistent praise for its originality, cohesion, and genre-defying sensibility
