The must-see local bands at Bumbershoot

Published 11:08 pm Friday, September 4, 2015

When you buy tickets to a major music festival the size of Bumbershoot it’s likely because of the big name artists attached. Names like The Weeknd, Brand New, Social Distortion, and Ben Harper.

That makes perfect sense. It’s been years since Ben Harper &The Innocent Criminals were together and that new Brandon Flowers record is pretty much perfect. Of course that’s all you can think about!

While that is understandable you shouldn’t miss this chance to be exposed to some really great bands from the Seattle area while you are there.

Not sure where to start? Don’t worry. I’ve got you covered.
