Festival creator Adam Zacks founded Sasquatch! in 2002 with the aim of constructing an event that catered to the eclectic tastes of voracious music enthusiasts. Zacks personally curates the lineups for each Sasquatch! Festival, hand-picking the diverse array of artists. “It’s our goal each year to present a fresh line up that reflects the independent spirit of the Pacific Northwest, respects the artists and audience, and celebrates the grandeur of The Gorge.”

The Sasquatch! Festival has established a tradition of presenting critically acclaimed emerging artists alongside established headliners. Previous lineups have spanned a broad spectrum of genres from rock to hip-hop, electronic to singer-songwriters; past performers include R.E.M. Coldplay, Kanye West, Beastie Boys, Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, The Flaming Lips, The Cure, Björk, and M.I.A. The festival also has a history of incorporating comedy including performances by Flight of The Conchords, Zach Galifianakis, Sarah Silverman, and many more.

Known for its bucolic location as well as its programming zeitgeist, the Sasquatch! Festival marks its ninth year at The Gorge, a concert venue built in the Columbia River Gorge and offering spectacular views of the river canyon.

Garage A Trois -Pictures- The Independent - SF - 12/12/09

Supergroup, Gargae A Trois, on tour pushing their new album, Power Patroit hit the Independent in SF on Saturday night.  The show was electric from start to finish....In fact the show started on fire and ended with the place burning like a furnace. 

 Skerik is by far the resident wildman-playing Sax with  enthusiasm and radical spector.

Marco Benevento brings to the four man dynamic  electronic stable-instability. 

Stanton Moore is a maniac-everything he touches turns to musical gold and being a founding member of GAT and Galactic amongst others, he has enough experience to eclipse most modern jazz bands out there today.

Mike Dillon-shirtless or not-is a percussive savant.  Sharing symbals with Moore, playing the Vibraphones as the master that he is and bantering back and forth with Skerik...four crazies-four geniuses-GAT-reinvented and remade is alive and well.

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals Descend On The Fillmore in SF 12/13/2009

Grace Potter, a Vermont organist-guitarist and singer, showed up on the indie scene five years ago with a rock quartet and the usual stuff: a strong appreciation for the music of a generation that was not her own. In this case it was the ’70s, and she wanted to play that music again for a newer, younger audience. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals would eventually do a tour of the ’70s, beginning with the recording of folksy rockers and ballads taken right out of some hippie ranch in the pines and arriving, three albums later, at the gritty roots rock that was replacing beer blues by the end of that decade. I wondered if This Is Somewhere was Potter’s answer to Neil Young’s Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. By 2007, the Nocturnals were electrified — like Crazy Horse, but like a Crazy Horse that had been let out of the barn.

The word is that Grace is legally blind and can’t see more than 15 feet in front of her. Things stay sharp up to that point and then just blur out, but she told a reporter that she won’t wear glasses. She says she likes the world at the periphery of her vision to be a smear of color and movement.

I liken Grace to Bonnie Raitt, the difference being that Raitt, with three times the experience, knows how to flog your heart with fewer notes and less effort. Grace Potter sends in her emotions on the back of hand grenades. She rocks hard, plays as though she means it, sweats bullets, and is more than up to the task of reviving that ’70s love. thanks to By Dave Good and the SD Reader

The Next Best Band To See Live: Stereo Logic

Stereo Logic is a Livetronica-Progrock Jam Band From Huntsville, Alabama.

The scoop: Stereo Logic is a four-piece progressive jam band that has been together since August 2008. The band constantly increases its repertoire of original songs, drawing influences from many genres, making the band difficult to categorize. The band plays covers ranging from bands like Umphrey's McGee to Edgar Winter Group to MGMT. The band is well known for its original sounds and exciting high energy performances.

Who's on what: Brad Bates, keyboard; Christian Clark, drums; Sam Altonji, bass; Steven Whaley, guitar.

Under the Influence: Umphrey's McGee, Radiohead, Phish, Dave Matthews Band, Jazz, progressive rock, fusion, funk, classic rock.

Gigs: Stereo Logic has performed at Bridge Street, Huntsville's Got Talent, The Davidson Center for Space Exploration, Olio (Grissom's Battle of the Bands), the Grissom Prom Fashion Show, pool parties and others.

For the record (or CD): The band recorded its first professional demo in early October. The recordings will be posted on MySpace.com/stereologichuntsville soon after editing. Stereo Logic has many videos of performances on Facebook, MySpace and YouTube. Its MySpace page also contains live recordings of original songs "Synesthesia" and "Bradberry."

What's in a name: Originally, the band played under the name Death Blade, which was intended to be ironic because they were the only band not playing metal at Olio. After playing their next few shows under the name Omega 3, the band decided on Stereo Logic.

Inside the band: Prior to forming Stereo Logic, all four members had played together in different combinations. Steven, Sam and Christian formed the band during the summer of 2008. After playing for a few weeks, Steven suggested bringing in a keyboard player that he had played with before. The next week Brad showed up at practice and immediately found a spot in the band. From then on, all four have played together, often meeting every Saturday to practice.

Also, Stereo Logic makes up the rhythm section in the Grissom A Jazz Band. The band plans to stay together to make music despite Steven and Christian going to college next year. By Chris Welch, and AL.com

Umphrey's McGee Tour Dates In Jan/Febuary/March

Umphrey's McGee has always been a band built for the road. Growing out their South Bend Shoes quickly, the now call Chicago home, and after playing the Las Tortugas Festival in Yosemite, CA for Halloween, they will return to Chicago for a 3 Night New Years run! Always a progressive band they have been trying to work out a way that members of the audience can request songs during the show. They had a run at this on the afternoon of October 3rd at the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee where 50 lucky fans got to participate in an experiment. As guitarist/singer Jake Cinninger put it, "We're all hamsters and gerbils in a cage." Basically how it worked were the fans came in and were given instructions, their instructions were to text song and jam ideas to the crew, the crew then would filter through them and post these requests up on a large screen for the band to see. The band upon seeing the requested song would jam or segue into the requested song. The experiment seemed to work well, and Umphrey's, being so progressive and improvisational made it look somewhat easy to mix jams-songs and smoothly transitions from one request to another. The shows was called S2 for Stews Arts Series. Fans seemed to really enjoy the experience and participation. At $100 I am sure it was worth it. More and more band seem to be doing this lately, trying to use technology to build a tighter bond with their fan base. Umphrey's will continue to play "regular" shows,  and we have a large list of those international dates below.  Umphrey's will continue to do S2 at various locations throughout the tour.
