bumbershoot

Today's Variety Show has the boys looking back at Seattle’s longest running music & arts festival and its run during the 90s as well as a send off to Bob Barker (RIP to the Max) who was also born in Western Washington.

NOTE: This episode was created during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA Strikes of 2023. Without the labor of writers and actors currently on strike, we wouldn’t have the majority of pop culture our show focuses on, even from the 90s.

Live from the Emerald City, we interview Joe Paganelli, CEO of New Rising Sun, producers of the Pacific Northwest's iconic Bumbershoot Arts & Music Festival, which is celebrating its 50 anniversary this year. Joe joins us at the Event & Venue Marketing Conference for our second live episode of Adventures In Venueland. We learn all about his start in live events with legendary promoter Bill Graham Presents, his time with The Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, his work as a Music Supervisor with Sony Pictures television, his work on the ticketing side with EDM artists and festivals, and his time with Seattle's McCaw Hall. Joe has seen all sides of the industry and has plenty of interesting stories about his career path, including lots of tips for people wanting to break into the industry. Hear about this year’s Bumbershoot and what he and his team are focusing on with the festival – including more community engagement, artist showcases, and a workforce development program supporting LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals. If you missed the conference, enjoy this fun way of listening in on a live, unfiltered episode of the podcast featuring audience reactions and questions, and great stories chock full of interesting career advice. Grab some coffee, dust off your favorite grunge rock album, and join us in Seattle.

Learn about the latest in local public affairs in about the time it takes for a coffee break! Brian Callanan of Seattle Channel and David Kroman of the Seattle Times discuss this week's vote on making drug possession and drug use in the City of Seattle a gross misdemeanor, a progress report on the Move Seattle transportation levy, a downtown revitalization quandary, the return of a newly-imagined Bumbershoot music festival, and a revival of the Seattle streetcar connector.

In a moment of coincidence, our tale begins where last week's discussion ended, with rambling opinions on Marvel's Wonderverse, leading us into the cultural qualities that make up a Seattle artist.  Tate fondly recalls the 90's icons that helped shape his own unique identity within hip-hop culture.  Elaborating on his local adventures that guided his path towards being the lyricist he is today.  Be sure to check out Cory's latest work on all music streaming services.
