Monarch photographer Abigail Jean Swanson went up to the Fisherman’s Village Music Festival in Everett over the weekend and shot some of the rowdy, raucous folks who both played shows and enjoyed the festivities. Below are some of the gems Abi was able to get on film. Enjoy!
On the Macklemore Outrage
Tuesday, May 20, 2014 15:35 — 1 Comment
There is no shortage of opinions on Macklemore. This was true even before last Friday’s silliness at EMP involving the now famous “witches nose,†wig and fake beard. It can be fairly reasonably argued that Macklemore has not helped his own cause in this regard—first, by becoming an outrageously famous white rapper—and then by making some pretty big P.R. mistakes along the way. Some argued that the revised version of “Wing$†that debuted as a music video at last year’s NBA All-Star Game was his sell-out moment.

I’ve known Eli Rosenblatt for about seven years now – I was introduced to him by Monarch co-founder Caleb Thompson, who grew up with and played in a band with Eli. The two are longtime friends and both great musicians. Eli, now, has taken his talents (trademark Lebron James) to the world of kids’ music: writing songs, giving lessons and playing shows for happy, dancing children! And coming up, Eli will be playing Timber! Outdoor Music Festival. I wanted to chat with him about what it’s like to go from the world of 21+ shows to the world of kids’ […]
