"I've been delighted by the experience that Freakout brings to the Seattle music community. From their two annual festivals in Seattle to the shows they present year round, Freakout embodies a level of curation and music discovery that is crucial to our arts community. I'm thankful they exist and want to do what I can to help them thrive. That is why I am offering a $1,000 match to 5 x individuals or organizations that would like to join me in supporting this wonderful non profit music and arts organization.”

“I've been a part of the festival since its first snowy incarnation of the Psychedelic Holiday Freakout and it's been incredible watching it grow into an internationally celebrated annual festival that spotlights artists around the world. I personally love going to the fest because it's not like any other. I spend a lot of time checking out acts that I haven't heard of and it brings tons of excitement to the neighborhood every year- not just at the Tractor and the other venues, but all the bars and restaurants along Ballard Ave. When I got the opportunity to join the board, I jumped at it and will continue to help the team bring their vision into reality in any way I can.”

“Ballard is our home base and independent artists and musicians are important elements that keep Ballard and the city of Seattle vibrant. It is our wish for the live music scene in Seattle to Thrive and Freakout helps make that happen!”
