8.8.26 Saturday (Hip Hop) Hidden Hall Presents: KNOWMADS with Jonah Marks 8:30PMdoors 9:00PM show 21+ Hidden Hall 400 N 35th St hiddenhall.com KnowMads have been a staple in the Seattle music scene for over a decade. Inspired by the new wave of conscious hip hop that was coming out of their hometown, KnowMads found their own local success in their teens and went on to tackle major Northwest festivals, Bumbershoot and Sasquatch, where they drew thousands of supporters. After their first national tour in 2017, KEXP, took note of their ‘Complex Animals’ album, hosting them for a “Live on KEXP” in-studio performance in 2018. KnowMads have never had formal representation from a label, management or booking agency - and yet they have still managed to amass over 80,000 monthly Spotify listeners organically and maintain a diehard fan base that continues to grow with each successive release. Years of unflinching dedication to their art granted KnowMads the opportunity to tour over 40 cities in 2019, including 8 shows in Europe, bringing their live show to their now international fan base, from Los Angeles to London. For the past few years KnowMads have been working alongside fellow Seattle-native Peter Lee Johnson, who recently produced two top ten billboard hits with Ariana Grande’s “34+35” and “Positions”. PLJ also produced KnowMads top-played album to date 'Knew School'. KnowMads and Peter Lee Johnson have hit their stride with their most recent release "Into the Sunset" blending 80's synth-wave, classic keys and trap 808's with KnowMads punchline and talk story styles to create an undeniable cinematic experience.
