The three guys at the core of the festival found a peculiar kind of inspiration in the grey chill and rain that Seattle winters are known for, and in the artists they found their own band sharing bills with. It only made sense to join the grey and fuzzy clouds with the grey and fuzzy sound of like-minded bands; to mimic the delicate drizzle and deluge of hail with guitars and drums; and to celebrate staying indoors, warmed by the tubes of dozens of amplifiers.

So the Cumulus Music Festival was born.

In early 2009 the first itteration of the festival was launched. Finding the common ground and bringing together bands seemingly disparate as Earth, the Bronze Fawn, Deelay Ceelay and Beast, Please be Still. Running the gamut from chill to bombastic, folksy to mechanical, minimalist to maximalist.

2010 stands ready to bring even more with an almost entirely new lineup.
