The Senate with Magdeline
January 10 at 8:00pm in the Sanctuary
“Before watching The Senate play live, try to throw all your pre-conceived notions about acoustic rock out the window. Then watch this band dismantle any leftover biases with their explosive sound, known by the masses as "face-melting acoustic riffage." By the end of the evening you will never look at a set of acoustic strings in the same way."  Amy Kenna, What’s Up Magazine

The Senate is a Seattle-based trio, comprised of Nick Drummond and Oliver Franklin on guitar, and Andrew Pulkrabrek on stand-up bass, is a rare fusion of talents and minds, with an even rarer agenda - to push the acoustic sound barrier beyond known limitations, without percussion. 

Opening for the Senate is Magdeline, the sensational young singer/songwriter from Snohomish. She is a gifted writer, whose songs the reach the heart. Magdeline got her start at Wired and Unplugged in Snohomish and continues to play in the area. Her EP, Scrapbook Similes, was released a year ago. 

Tickets: $10.00 at the door
