There is no better hidden gem to MusicFest NW than the afternoon KEXP shows at the Doug Fir. Let's face it, sometimes a MFNW wristband is just too much for your thin pockets to afford, or perhaps you are like me and just love the experience of sneaking out of the office midday for a concert. Either way, here is a list of the KEXP-sponsored shows at Doug Fir, all of which are totally free, totally all ages, and totally open to the public. Totally!

Thursday September 9
10:30am - Dan Mangan Laura Veirs
12:30pm - Phantogram
2:30pm - Ted Leo & the Pharmacists
4:30pm - The Cave Singers

Friday September 10
10:30am - Blue Giant
12:30pm - Bobby Bare Jr
2:30pm - The Tallest Man on Earth
4:30pm - Thee Oh Sees

End Hits: The prospect of afternoon Ted Leo and The Tallest Man on Earth make me a very happy boy.

I hope this isn't a silly question - but even if this event is free, is a ticket of some kind still needed or do I just show up at the Doug Fir for the event that I'd like to see? Thanks.

@Cat Lancaster - Just show up. Get there earlier for the later shows just in case they fill up (which they will).

Thanks - I appreciate the answer! Although Dan Mangan who my first choice of who I wanted to see and now that's been crossed off... Oh well, I'll still try to catch some of the others.
