The Quiet Music Festival is a special favorite. It is an intimate event with musicians who are not too loud. The audience lounges on an occasional carpet-, blanket- and pillow-covered floor, lit by scattered table lamps.
Beautiful.
It's organized for the fifth year by Portland-LA artist-musician-skater Chris Johanson.
Friday has the Secret Drum Band, Sonny Smith, Timmy Straw, Irma Vep and Linda Hagood Conditioner; Saturday, Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks, Amenta Abioto, Peacers, Rebecca Gates, IIyas Ahmed and Johanson's Sun Foot.
There is a very small amount of seating for those who need that. And if you are in Seattle, there is a little Quiet version Thursday.
