City Arts Festival returns to Seattle from October 17th-20th. There will be art (and who isn’t into that) and there are rumors that there will be music. What kind of music? Gee, I don’t know the everything kind. Everything from Glitterbang to Mos Def to Prism Tats to Fox and the Law to Crypts to Brother Ali. I don’t know about you, but I think City Arts Festival is getting better and better. They also paid me to write this. Just kidding, the truth is for free.  Ravenna Woods are headlining the Crocodile as part of City Arts Festival on Friday, October 19th. It’s Friday night, fall will have officially officially begun at this point. Mmm…breathe in that hoodie weather. Seeing Ravenna Woods will be the crest of your weekend. Yes, even better than apple picking or pumpkin carving. “But Phil, how do you know such things! That is impossible! This state has great apples!” Yes, the apples are plenty. I aso love the sound they make when you bite into them. However, I have heard many of the songs on Ravenna Woods’ upcoming early 2013 release The Jackals.  I must say the album will be a front-runner for 2013 Album of the Year honors. If you buy a ticket to their City Arts Fest show at the Croc, you will get a 3-song download code as part of your purchase. Below is one of the songs will be on that download, “Border Animals.” You will like what you hear. You will buy a ticket. You will like more things that you hear. More tickets will be bought. More happiness will be exchanged. It’s a vicious cycle that you should be eager to be a part of.
