East Forest, Shelby Natasha - Live @ ST. MARK'S CATHEDRAL SEATTLE (Abbey Arts Presents) seating & floor space tickets available

East Forest: www.eastforest.org

Since 2008, East Forest has used music to guide listeners through modern journeys of deep introspection. The electro-acoustic project has remained primarily a solo effort (of Krishna-Trevor Oswalt), straddling the worlds of ambient, neoclassical, electronic and indie-pop. 

Whether via his Music For Mushrooms: A Soundtrack For The Psychedelic Practitioner album series, his collaborative spoken word album with Ram Dass, or one of his communal “Ceremony Concerts,” East Forest’s goal has always been “building bridges and creating an approach that’s grounded, embodied, unarguable and for everybody.”

His latest album Music For The Deck of The Titanic is an homage to the infamous ship’s musicians who spent their last hours playing songs for passengers. Beautiful, poignant and extremely human, it’s a reprieve in a fast-moving world, built around an acoustic backbone of live drums, stand-up bass, earnest vocals and intimate piano.

The most collaborative effort from East Forest so far, the LP features Senegalese singer Marieme, drummer Jens Kuross (RY X, The Acid) and cellist/bassist Owen Hofmann-Smith. From the thoughtful and rhythmic repose of “Clay Steps” to the emotional atmospheres of “Tangled," the house-driven “Currents” with Brazilian techno producer ANNA, the contemplative ballad "Birds Eye" and the raunchy-wisdom of single "So What?" with comedian Duncan Trussell, Music For The Deck of The Titanic crafts a true journey of mood. Its 11 tracks are a culmination of a life spent exploring and meditating on music as a connective narrative, and a contemporary musical reminder that we can at any moment return to our humanity without falling behind. - Artist Bio

SEATING:

• To create a "giant living room" effect we offer an unusual concert experience with floor space (yoga mat size spaces) on the floor up front surrounding the stage as well as pews, benches, and chairs around the space.
  
• Floor tickets and front row bench seating is reserved on this show, arrive early for closer options or to sit with a group

• Quiet and non-messy snacks/picnics are allowed. No outside alcohol please.

QUIET POLICY:

• Please refrain from talking or texting during the show
• Please silence all devices. Turn off vibrate, rings, etc. If you need your phone on vibrate for specific reasons, please keep it close to you and not on a hard surface that will distract your neighbor.
• Please ensure water bottles or other objects will not fall over and make loud noises (this can be quite surprising to your neighbors bliss)
• Please enter quietly if the show has already begun.
• If arriving late, please be advised that ushers may hold doors during each song due to acoustics of the space.
  

• NO CAMERAS WITH MECHANICAL SHUTTERS (This goes for Press too unless approved to photograph during applause only.) That means silent digital cameras/photos are ok but we really recommend you enjoy most of the show through your own 'retina screens'.
• You probably get the idea, this isn't a loud party venue. :-)
• Anyone exhibiting loud or disruptive behavior during the event will be asked to leave.

• **We are unable to provide a separate soundproof room for viewing this event. These shows are very very pin drop quiet so please consider that when deciding what ages are appropriate. No cry room available at this venue and even voices in the lobby will be heard in the concert space.
