Using their highly poetic and evocative movement style, Ricochet weaves delicate metaphor with jaw dropping spectacle. Combining aerial acrobatics, contortion, character and charm, STITCH is the story of the complexities and absurdities of the human experience. To get a sneak peek of their performance, visit their website at: www.ricochet.name. “Stitch is an elegant prayer of thanks for the human body.” - Howard Shapiro - Philadelphia Inquirer
Friday, July 31- Backstage Show!
The Occupation and special guests
8:30pm doors/9:00pm show
$7.00 admission at the door night show only
All Ages!
The Occupation is a Seattle-based indie rock band. A colabaration born of friendship, love, laughter, and unashamed anthemic rock.
Formed in 2008, and consisting of several members from successful N.W. bands (Ordinary State, Stereodrive, Fight For Change) The Occupation is the number one “employer” of the fearless. Reminiscent of bands such as U2, The Arcade Fire and Kings of Leon, The Occupation boldly blend elements of classic arena-style rock with modern pop. Sweeping melodies layer on top of one another, powerful rhythms combine. Crafty voices sing out catchy phrases. Complementary minds express desire to connect.
The Occupation recorded their recent “Sweet Falcon” E.P. at Avast! studios in Seattle, WA, under the guidance of Cam Nichlaus and Stuart Hallerman. Their energetic live performance currently features songs from their E.P. as well as material from their forthcoming debut album. You can hear them at: www.theoccupation.com

All ages!
Greg has a dedicated fan base around the Pacific Northwest. Though a touring musician for over thirty years, he has never abandoned those things that move him deeply — family, home, poetry and the natural world. Music and words flow through him and he uses them to paint simple yet powerful images on a canvas of gospel, blues, country, rock, and jazz. A firm believer in community and ecological responsibility, he often uses his music to support these causes. Brown’s songwriting has been lauded by many, and his songs have been performed by a wide range of artists, including Willie Nelson, Jack Johnson, Del McCoury, Carlos Santana, Michael Johnson, Ani DiFranco, Shawn Colvin, and Joan Baez.
In addition to having been twice nominated for Grammy Awards, in 2007 he was nominated for a Folk Alliance Award in the category of Contemporary Artist of the Year. When not on the road, he splits his time between Iowa and Missouri with his children and wife Iris DeMent.
