KEXP is teaming up again with Starbucks and STG for the fourteenth edition of Little Big Show, a special concert series created to benefit our city’s arts organizations! On Friday, January 29th, we're happy to present Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Lower Dens, and Hibou at The Neptune Theatre.
Here's the thing: the show is currently SOLD OUT, but keep it tuned to KEXP all day tomorrow, Friday, January 22nd, as DJs John Richards, Cheryl Waters, and Kevin Cole will be giving away pairs of tickets to the show!
Proceeds from the event will go to Red Eagle Soaring Native Youth Theatre (RES), an organization that "exists to empower American Indian and Alaska Native youth to express themselves with confidence and clarity through traditional and contemporary performing arts. RES is a Seattle-based 501(c)(3) serving Native American youth ages 10-19 with free programming integrating contemporary theatre and traditional Native performing arts. RES engages Native youth and their families in critical discussions about the issues affecting their lives and provides a cultural peer group in which to build confidence, identity, and community." Doors are at 8:00 PM and the show is all ages. Get more information, and watch video from previous Little Big Shows here.
