Seattle’s psychedelic folk rock band and the label’s flagship artist, Forest Ray, will be peforming tonight at 9pm!

Described as or “Spaced out, down to earth Brit-pop gone country” or more comically as “George Harrison and Tame Impala taking mushrooms with Willie Nelson”, Seattle folk rock group maintains their consistent touring and recording schedule.

They released their fifth full length album, Windf**ker (Jebivjetar) following a five week European tour in early fall, the new album spans folky 80’s Dylan and George Harrison inspired tunes with harmonica and synth, more driving 60s psychedelic and twangy sing alongs.

Very thrilled to have The Blank Tapes on both Friday and Saturday of this year! , led by Southern California artist Matt Adams, are legendary and loved by many in rock n’ roll circles from Los Angeles to Seattle all the way to Dresden and beyond. Matt’s made a name for himself over twenty years of relentless touring and playing, as well playing with other highly acclaimed bands such as

Most folks who have played in bands with Matt or with his groups will tell you what about the mystery of his underrated genius. A virtuosic guitar player, recording engineer, prolific songwriter, and an incredible visual artist, that couldn’t be a more humble and friendly person.

His tunes are memorable and catchy, and his guitar playing a testament to his countless years of dedication to his craft. Not only a friend to many of us, but also an inspiration. He personally has helped us many times on tour in countless ways and it is quite an honor to have him be a part of this event. He also designed co-presenter ‘s logo , as well as so many concert posters and album covers that you have surely seen, whether or not you know it.

We’re lucky enough to have Matt spinning records on Friday and Saturday night, with a solo set on Friday night. This is something you really don’t want to miss. Forreal. IT IS THE LAST DAY to get pre-sales, which are $5 off.

If you wanna meet Matt and have a beer tonight we are having the pre-party at this evening! Starts at 6pm!

So excited to have kicking off this Friday, February 16th!!

Forest Ray Records was lucky enough to work with them last year to record their new LP, and we are very excited to hear its release soon! This Everett based band is a staple of the Snohomish county scene and they bring a lot of new life to classic sounds with unique harmonies and twangy guitars. You don’t wanna miss them this Friday at .

The union of Robert Lund and Marcus Chavez’s groovy rhythm section under Trevor Fett’s prominent guitar makes them reminiscent of the Stones and late 60’s Fugs, but Tess Tasakos’ strong vocals and harmonies with heavily keyboard led moments help them break away from what you’d expect from your typical rock n roll quartet and make them even more memorable. All of their rock solid musical elements, impressive playing and local references in their lyrics make them a sonic treat for any Washington native or fan of 60’s and 70’s rock and roll. Cannot wait to have these folks grace the stage on Friday, February 16th!

, the moniker of James Booker, professional musician, multi instrumentalist and touring band veteran who’s made appearances in Pitch Perfect 3, will be gracing the FRyFest at on Saturday, February 17th. A banjo virtuoso in his former band; Whiskey Shivers, James’ newer project is a culmination of his synth pop and new wave daydreams that has landed him on NPR, KEXP airwaves and has received critical acclaim from legendary DJ Marco Collins.

This year we are very excited to have Portland, Oregon based MØTRIK headlining the fest on Friday February 16th, currently described as America’s best Kraut-rock band, they bring energetic, spacey amplifier worshipping jams set to relentless motorik beats, and have audiences all around the Western US talking about their recent shows. After seeing them at in Reno, NV we knew they were a perfect fit for the festival. Their live shows are explosive and unforgettable and will send everyone home from Day 1 with an oscillating drone in their brain. Thanks to booking for helping bring them to the event!

Pre-sale tickets for Friday, February 16th are on sale now at the link in our bio!!

Don’t miss this unforgettable performance this year! This will be our best today, in no small part because of MØTRIK’s closing of day 1!!

Spokane’s favorite slacker rock meets 70s rock gems and Forest Ray Records staple, Pit, will be back at this year. An impressive cohort of true companions, Spokane’s Pit is songwriter Ben Jennings accompanied by Missoula bred drummer and songwriter Sam Bolt and the inimitable Spokane wrecking crew of Adam and Alex Smith on bass and lead guitar

Something like Pavement meets Neil Young or a twisted Joe Walsh. (See ILBTs) Pit’s every bit as original as they are unforgettable. Forest Ray Records had the pleasure of recording and producing their album, Golden Pastures, which still remains one of our favorite releases of the last ten years. Couldn’t be more thrilled have this crew back for a little taste of the Northwest’s inland empire right here in Seattle. Don’t miss them on Saturday, February 17th

Pre-sale tickets for the fest available at the link in our bio!
