About
The brainchild of filmmaker and musician Danny Denial, the second annual BAZZOOKAFEST is a physical and virtual space where BIPOC artists, creators, entrepreneurs and business owners can connect, celebrate strength in solidarity, and begin to heal.
Open to all-ages and demographics, the free all-day festival takes place on August 19th and August 20th, 2022 at Jefferson Park in Beacon Hill. In line with its mission, BAZZOOKAFEST will employ musicians of color to perform live, filmmakers of color to have their work screened, and Black-owned businesses to platform and sell their work on their terms.
Hosted in partnership with Degenerate Films, Northwest Film Forum, and The Vera Project.
Funded in part by Seattle Parks & Recs Welcome Back Grant.

PARTICIPATING BANDS
SHAINA SHEPHERD
Shaina Shepherd is a singer, songwriter, vocal teacher, and community organizer in Seattle, WA. Known for her pervasive style as front-woman to soul-grunge band BEARAXE, her notable vocal stylings have brought her into various creative spaces from collaborating with Duff McKagan, Chong The Nomad and Acid Tongue to sharing stages with rock stars like Dave Matthews and Thunderpussy to being a soloist with the classical ensembles around the country. Inspired by the parallels between gospel and garbage metal, Shaina Shepherd is not your average vocalist. Living in the city where both Soundgarden and Quincy Jones cut their teeth, Shaina lends her soulful voice to projects of all genres.
BIJOUX
DOWN NORTH
There are some performers who come to music later in life. Then, there are folks who you can just tell were voracious students and consumers of music since before they could talk. Seattle / Los Angeles / North Carolina based quartet Down North fall squarely into the latter group. Trying to pin genre tags onto their unique brand of psych-infused punk soul is an exercise in futility. These creatives pick and choose just-right bits and flavors drawn from the whole of modern western music like painters with unlimited palates.
