The Whags have captured the attention of the Seattle music scene with their unique, inviting sound, which blends groove-driven psychedelic jam, harmony-laden Americana and a swirly improvisation of another era. The band’s open-minded approach to Americana, funk and sunshine pop gives both a friendly and accessible vibe to concertgoers, be it a large venue or a tiny dive bar.

This stop in Sandpoint is part of The Whags’ Mountain West Tour, with stops in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Oregon.
