Heading up the coast, California’s Cobalt Season plays Astoria’s Cannery Cafe Lounge at 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 29. The group emerges as a voice of hope and clarity amidst an apathetic consumer-driven society. Deconstructing the American dream and all its cronies (American religion, nationalism, corporatism, etc.), front man Ryan Lee Sharp paints impressions of a better way, a better day.

Sometimes with large brush strokes, sometimes with fine lines, Ryan and Holly Sharp create a live experience that isn’t soon forgotten. From infuriating audiences to giving them hope, from deconstructing to reconstructing, listeners will remember their encounter with Cobalt Season.

Indie folk rock with a social conscience, story-driven song with soul – Cobalt Season is sure to lighten up your mid-week blues. There is no cover charge, so be sure to claim your seat at the Cannery Cafe Lounge early.
