The folks over at KEXP are bringing some excellent free live music to the masses this summer at the Mural Amphitheatre on the Seattle Center campus, which is where KISW used to have its free Pain in the Grass shows, as anyone who lived through the 90s will tell you.
The schedule features a mix of local hip hop (Dyme Def and Mad Rad side project Fresh Espresso), indie (Throw Me The Statue and Blitzen Trapper), and some good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll (Dinosaur Jr.).
Here is the complete lineup for these free shows:
July 31, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Blitzen Trapper, Throw Me the Statue
Aug. 7, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dyme Def, Fresh Espresso
