Westerlies Fest
Recommended
Brooklyn-by-way-of-Seattle jazz, roots, and chamber-influenced brass quartet the Westerlies (trumpeters Riley Mulherkar and Chloe Rowlands, and trombone players Andy Clausen and Willem de Koch) have never forgotten their Emerald City roots. They'll return this first full weekend in February to host their third eponymous music fest, which, according to press materials, was created "to give back to the musical ecosystem that raised them by engaging local students, highlighting local talent, and facilitating explosive collaborations between artists from Seattle and beyond." Basically, workshops at area schools by day, and concerts that find the Westerlies performing with a different guest artist by night. Needless to say, it'll all take place online this year.
