• Mission Creek Underground: The Musical Storytelling of Spectral Snake

    A Virtual Sample of One of America's Great Arts Festivals

    While we can’t be together for Creek Week celebrating music, literature, and community, we’re happy to share six virtual performances from Mission Creek artists in a series we’re calling Mission Creek Underground.

    Spectral Snake is the musical project of Angela Barr and Brooks Strause, devised as a way to tell fantastical horror stories about “real”-life darkness, packaged in subtle, elegant songs.

    (Stay tuned tomorrow for a reading by the great Garth Greenwell.)
