This year’s shows will take place at several venues across Seattle June 10th through 14th, will feature over 40 bands, and benefits Transitional Resources, a licensed mental health center and residential program located in West Seattle that offers a full spectrum of optimistic and respectful mental health services to adults with major mental illnesses.

To start things off, Noise For The Needy is holding a Festival Season Kickoff Party at Woodshed Studios (located on the corner of Fairview and East Thomas in Seattle; www.woodshedstudios.com ) on Saturday, April 18th that features DJ Chrispo (Studio 66), Truckasaurus, Erik Blood, Exohxo, Origami Ghosts and Solomon Giorgio.
