Last but not least, yet another sign of spring! Late last week, the organizers of the Waking Windows 4 festival in Winooski announced their first headliner. And it’s a good one: Nat Baldwin of Dirty Projectors playing alongside Vetiver‘s Otto Hauser at the Winooski Methodist Church.
If you’ll recall, following last year’s festival, I proclaimed WW3 to be the “coolest live-music event of the year” in Vermont. And with the benefit of hindsight, I’m gonna go ahead and say I was spot-fucking-on. (For once.) That statement is not meant to take anything away from our other great fests — Discover Jazz, Grand Point North, the Precipice, etc. — which are all excellent in delightfully different and varied ways. Rather, it’s meant to shine a light on a festival that might fly under the radar because, well, it’s almost too cool.
There is a stigma attached to WW that the fest isn’t geared toward general audiences. That’s kind of true. But it is, however, welcoming to anyone who is interested in seeking out great underground music, both local and national. Translation: You don’t need to be a music-obsessed hipster to get something out of it.
The thing is, WW is curated by some of the most reliably excellent tastemakers in town — Angioplasty Media, MSR Presents and others. And there’s a good chance that more than a few bands who show up this year will be on to bigger things by this time next year. For example, google Speedy Ortiz, who played WW3, and see how the rest of their year went. Not bad, right? (Ditto the Luyas, BTW.)
So I’m putting WW4 on your radar now, because I suspect in a few months you’ll thank me for urging you to step out of your comfort zone and be just a little bit cooler.
Waking Windows 4 runs from May 1 through May 4. Tickets are on sale now.
