The 11th annual Fisherman’s Village Music Festival kicked off in Everett with a bang on Thursday night, featuring local garage-psychedelic band Dead Energy on the Lucky Dime stage. The band, consisting of brothers Max and Jerry Green, entertained the crowd with their energetic performance and witty banter.
The festival, organized by the Everett Music Initiative, will continue for three days at various venues in the city, including Lucky Dime, Black Lab Gallery, and Kings Hall. The lineup includes a diverse range of artists, from Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers to Seattle hip-hop artist Sol and R&B singer Allen Stone.
Dead Energy, who have already released an EP and two singles, are looking forward to recording a full-length album in 2025. The band has a show coming up at the Vera Project in Seattle and a summer tour along the West Coast.
The festival also featured other acts like Soft Release, a post-funk experimental duo, and musician Anthony Brock. The atmosphere was lively and inclusive, with attendees dancing and singing along to the music.
As the festival continues over the weekend, attendees can look forward to more performances from a variety of artists at different venues in Everett. The event aims to showcase the vibrant music scene in the city and bring people together through the power of music.
