bluescholars-heineken Wanna do something really fun October 20th-23rd? I thought you might. Well, have I got the thing for you! Seattle is playing host to the very first City Arts Festival and the line up of this thing is totally amazing. She & Him, Big Boi (of Outkast!) Blitzen Trapper, Fresh Espresso, Blue Scholars, Cat Power, Gogol Bordello and Belle and Sebastian are just a few of the bands that will be entertaining you.

Listen to my chat with the City Arts Fest director, Jake Newman, to find out what other awesome activities will be happening throughout the run of the festival, how this thing came to be and how the heck he was able to get some of the biggest names in music today to come to Seattle for you!

Oh! Tune in to the mixtape this Friday to listen to me chat with Brent Amaker & The Rodeo (who are playing the City Arts Fest) and listen to them play some songs live!
