City Arts Festival @ Multiple Venues
City Arts Festival officially kicks off into high gear tonight in Seattle with a packed line-up. Today’s stand-outs include: David Byrne and Saint Vincent, Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band at Barboza, Johnathan Russell of The Head and the Heart at All Pilgrims, Brother Ali at Neumos and a special edition of JK Pop at Culture Club. I know, that’s a lot of options so I’d consider yourself lucky if you thought ahead and bought a pass because City Arts Festival is off to an amazing start!
