Always evolving and never quite done, we’re continuing to expand our 2022 lineup with old friends and exciting discoveries. Welcome Colleen Coco Collins, Hot Garbage, Jake Nicoll, José Contreras, Julie Doiron, Kierrah, Mister Monark & We The B Sides, Steven Lambke, The Burning Hell, Tough Age, and Weird Lines, joining previously announced artists Ami Dang, Apollo Ghosts, Bird Feet, Cedric Noel, Circuit des Yeux, Jon McKiel, Kelly McMichael, Klarka Weinwurm, Lee & Gamble Unlimited, OMBIIGIZI, Sook-Yin Lee, Weary, and Wolf Castle.
We are thrilled to welcome home some of the dear family that has made Sappyfest what it is and what it has come to be, and to invite new artists to this wonderful, annual reunion.
Sappyfest 17 will also host The Phonoautomat - a miniature, instant recording booth where you can record up to five minutes of anything you like and walk away with physical copies on cassette. Completely solar-powered, mobile, self-contained, and off the grid, the Phonoautomat is built into a 1970s camper trailer, and comes complete with backline (drums and amplifiers), a fully analog recording studio, and a cassette duplicator. Built and run by engineer Jake Nicoll and his assistants Ariel Sharratt and Mathias Kom, the Phonoautomat is open for spontaneous collaborations, music, spoken word, poetry, sound art, audio collage: the possibilities are endless.
Weekend passes are on sale at www.sappyfest.com/tickets. Passes are $124.99 (taxes and fees included).
