Racer Session #208 | Open Session / Cry & Roar IV | February 2, 2014

We are very excited to announce the fourth annual Table & Chairs-sponsored Cry & Roar Festival. This year, it will take place on January 31st through February 2nd at Cafe Racer in the Ravenna neighborhood. Each night, music will start at 8:00 PM and there will be a suggested donation of $5 to $15 at the door, which will help support the artists.

On January 31st and February 1st, a "traditional" set of concerts will take place, with multiple bands playing consecutively. On Sunday February 2nd, the Racer Sessions will bring together everyone who attends the performance that night in a musical experience. We hope that everyone at the session that evening will pick up their horns and join us in an extended piece, which will celebrate the community that has been cultivated over the years at Cafe Racer. Following the group performance, the free improvisation session will take place as usual until 10:00 PM, at which time Lonesome Shack will take the stage for a toe-tapping end to the festival.


This year’s festival is particularly exciting because Kim Cass (Oakland) and netcat (Seattle) will be playing, both new to the Table & Chairs roster.

The schedule for the festival is as follows:

Friday

Saturday
