Donations help keep the festival free and accessible, fund year-round programs, and empower hundreds of volunteers contributing thousands of hours to bring the community together. Come for the music, celebrate Ubuntu, and support the arts, culture, and community. Marshall Law Band 11:45 PM-1:00 AM
Seattle’s Marshall Law Band delivers a powerful fusion of funk, hip-hop, and rock driven by message and movement. Known for their electrifying live shows and socially conscious lyrics,the band channels themes of resilience, empowerment, and community into every performance. In 2020, they became a defining musical presence during Seattle’s protests, playing daily near the front lines and using their platform to uplift voices calling for justice. That spirit of activism continues to shape their sound and their connection to the city.Beyond the stage, Marshall Law Band organizes grassroots events like “Fremont Fridays” and the “Emerald City Gala,” strengthening Seattle’s arts and activist communities. Their releases—including 12th & Pine, Jam in the Van, and Double Down—capture the raw energy and groove that make their live sets unforgettable. Get ready for high-energy rhythms, sharp lyricism, and a show that moves both your feet and your spirit.
TAYTONIC 10:00PM-11:15PM
What if Prince and Daft Punk had a baby? And its adoptive parents were legendary drummer and bassist: Carter Beauford and Les Claypool? Funk. Pure and unadulterated.We provide the music; you provide the ass-shakin'-what a beautiful experience we'll create together. ‘TAYTONIC is fronted by drummer Tayler Williams, who earned his merits in the Bay Area for over 25 years, playing with members of Tower Of Power, and the likes of Jennifer Hartswick, and many others. Copiloting on the bass is Danny "D-Train" Praseuth, who you might recognize running around the PNW scene with Reposado. Every note birthed from our musical apparatuses is designed to move your body or give you stank face. Every movement and face you make will fuel our engine of funk. We will collectively dance, laugh, cry, scream, ruminate, pontificate, and dance again, as we sing you tales through our machined vocals. Don't worry, the drums and bass will be locked in, indestructibly, and will serve as an indubitable guide for the groove. The sanctity of the funk will be upheld. See you at the show.
