SSG Music is grateful and honored to announce our very own City Arts Fest showcase, more affectionately known as SSG Music’s Semi-Acoustic Fest on October 20. Our showcase will feature some of our favorite Seattle bands playing City Arts Fest including Lemolo, Ravenna Woods, Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, and Motopony.
Our vision for the show is to get a juicy one of a kind experience, be it an acoustic variation of the artist’s typical set, a debut collaboration or something unpredictable. We’re letting the bands decide how they want to present, but we promise you’re not going to want to miss this.
The show starts at 5:00pm and will last for approximately two hours. It’s a free show, but space is LIMITED. If you want to get in on this, be there early.
