The Royal Room Staycation Festival: Beth Fleenor
Pay what you can
Beth Fleenor, clarinet & voice
Join us Sunday for our recurring series titled 'Staycation Festival', a summer-long series of streaming events at the Royal Room, co-hosted by Live Concerts Stream.
August 23rd will feature the ONE and ONLY Beth Fleenor.
“You can find {Crystal Beth} fearlessly indulging her wildest creative inklings whenever she materializes in a musical forum…Crystal Beth & the Boom Boom Band falls somewhere between the grisly skronk-punk of Stickers and earthy freak-indie of tUnE-yArDs, but even fans of those left-of-center acts will be thrown for a loop. Wailing vocals not bound to any conventions but {her} own, paired with percussive “Bethnic chants,” are set over freely drawn jazz figures and world-y rhythms.” (The Stranger, 2016)
“Beth Fleenor – aka Crystal Beth – is an undeniable, unstoppable musical force, and one of Seattle’s treasures. She uses her voice and clarinet – not to mention the deep connections she forms with her collaborators – to channel strange, disturbing, and beautiful sounds into existence from beyond most of our imaginings. Battle Cry has no words that would be recognized in any language, but words would be needless ornament here. The band’s joyful, stomping skronk and Beth’s chants and shrieks bypass the language centers of the brain and drill directly into the deepest, primal folds, beckoning you to surrender to sound, to find peace and clarity through a modicum of musical insanity.” (Ball of Wax, 2017)
The livestream will take place at 7:30pm Pacific. Broadcasting live from The Royal Room stage, Seattle, WA, following all Washington State Department of Health guidelines.
