We are still levitating after what was by every measure the most successful and inspiring Seaprog to date. The level of imaginative musicianship was off the charts, but the warmly receptive audience was equally responsible for the fantastic vibe. It feels as though progressive musicians and enthusiasts scattered throughout the Pacific Northwest finally have a place to call their own, and the success of this year’s edition bodes very well for the future.
Our humble and hearty thanks go to all of the musicians from near and far who graced our event and touched our lives; our cadre of selfless volunteers; our nonprofit sponsor Shunpike and fiscal supporter 4Culture; and to the nonpareil Columbia City Theater staff for providing such a welcoming space. We love you all!
