I try not to be too negative, but one thing I’m being reminded of with the job opening for Sounds of Survivance is that there are far more people willing to exploit Native identity for personal gain than there are Native people themselves (or at least right now, the math makes it feel that way).
We believe all performances deserve the spotlight. That's why you'll never worry about conflicting sets at different stages at Timber! You can experience great music at all stages without stress. ✨ Get your weekend passes before June 1 to save $20: timbermusicfest.com/tickets

In the last two weeks I managed the on sale of Timber Outdoor Music Festival followed by 8 straight days of pitching my heart out on KEXP. I’m absolutely drained, but couldn’t be proud of the community I get to be a part of. 😴
