Presenting creative music in Seattle since 2013
Join us on July 11 for a really special night of music celebrating one of Seaprog’s founders, Dennis Rea. He’s been active on the Seattle music scene for 50 years, and he’s throwing a party to mark the milestone.
These days, Dennis has three main musical projects that will perform at Kenyon Hall, which means the audience gets a wonderful show of varied music while Dennis gets no rest.
Advance tickets are on sale for this all-ages event, and you can find more details on the event page.
It was 50 years ago this year that guitarist Dennis Rea arrived in Seattle, and to celebrate the milestone, three of his groups will present a special performance at Kenyon Hall in West Seattle. More info at https://www.kenyonhall.org/events/dennisrea
Tempered Steel features Ffej, Frank Junk, and Dennis Rea playing amplified, electronically processed thumb pianos. The trio’s seamless improvisations conjure everything from phantom harpsichords and subterranean percussion to as yet uninvented stringed instruments and vintage musique concrète. Recommended to partisans of Harry Partch, John Cage’s prepared piano music, and Konono No. 1. And if you watch closely, you might catch one of the rare uses of an electric toothbrush in music.
