WinterStock 2020: featuring KUINKA with SWAY WILD
Friday, February 14, 2020 - 7:30pm
Winter Blues got you down? WinterStock, voted Best Skagit Music Festival by Cascadia Weekly readers, returns this Valentines Day to take the chill away and warm your hearts with two of the PNWs finest bands: Kuinka and Sway Wild!
KUINKA
Kuinka's genre-defying music features several different lead singers, four-part harmony, and core elements of rock (lead guitar, synth, drums) flavored with eclectic folk instrumentation (cello, banjo, ukulele) and a driving dance beat. But through all of their sonic experimentation, band members Miranda Zickler, Nathan Hamer, Zach Hamer and Jillian Walker songs and live shows are linked by an infectious energy that remains present in everything they do.
"Seraphic vocals bookended by ukulele, cello, and heavy percussion will leave you feeling giddy and glad to be alive." -The Stranger
SWAY WILD (featuring Mandy Fer & Dave McGraw)
Internationally-acclaimed songwriters Mandy Fer & Dave McGraw (from San Juan Island, Washington State), now joined by long-time friend and bassist Thom Lord, are back at it with a new sound, new album and new name - Sway Wild! Their exceptional harmonies coupled with Fer's pioneering electric guitar work have become a vehicle to carry them around the world.
