Seattle and Chicago Happenings!

Big weekend for Riot Act artists... At Bumbershoot in Seattle, we have the seductively sly Black Whales performing on Sunday and on Monday, the cellos that play together and stay together, Portland Cello Project brings it's mammoth stage presence to the festival!  Also on Monday, Seattle's legendary, feisty redhead Rachel Flotard and co., aka Visqueen, return to Bumbershoot with the pure intention of melting faces.

Then, in Chicago, Stephen Howard brings his project Quieting Syrup to the Hideout on Sunday, 8/30.  Songs About A Sick Boy is out this month on Lovitt Records and, live, he'll be joined by the legendary Bob Weston!
