Photographer Nicky Andrews sure was busy covering Bumbershoot the other weekend and got some really cool photos, including PurrfectPals, Billy Bragg, Japandroids and Hole‘s End Session:

PurrfectPals – A kitten from the Arlington, WA no-kill cat shelter plays. The booth was located near the Broad Street Stage, where the cats enjoyed Japandroids and the Submarines, among other acts. Adopt or foster a cat – or give money! Become a fan on facebook.
Grynch, Star Anna, the Constellations and Visqueen were all at Bumbershoot at this year:

One of the greatest shows during Bumbershoot was the Justin Townes Earle KEXP music lounge session. It’s the perfect way to see him live. Star Anna had a special surprise for us too bringing Mike McCready (of Pearl Jam fame) on stage for half of their set.










I emptied the last of the pixels from my camera, taken on the first day of Bumbershoot 2010, and came away with the following shots of Star Anna, Mike McCready, Zoe Muth, The Maldives, Justin Townes Earle, Edward Sharpe and This Providence.
