Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero!

This Saturday May 23 I’ll be rolling down to Seattle Center to perform a solo show at the 2009 Northwest Folklife Festival. I’ll be at the Alki Court Stage, in the breezeway west of the crazy-big International Fountain lawn.

I haven’t played a solo gig since last October so yeah, I’m nervous. I know I’ll get through the set just fine, but I’m out-of-practice when it comes to being witty and not saying embarrassing things between songs.

Check out the newly-redesigned Folklife website (yay, no more PDFs!) for the whole weekend schedule. Folklife is always a craaazy time, drawing thousands of people and featuring tons of performers, and that doesn’t even include the kabillions of random street musicians (last year I learned quickly that I’m no match for a six-piece improv bluegrass band or an African drum ensemble). And unlike previous years, we’re supposed to have fantastic, sunny, completely non-Northwest weather. Hello. summertime!
