Sasquatch 2012 is officially underway. Those of you that were not able to make it out to The Gorge for Friday night’s opening…not to worry, there is a lot of great music on tap throughout the extended weekend.

Like previous years, Sasquatch offers an eclectic blend of musical styles and genres. Of course there is no shortage of artists with street cred and star power. Some of the more notable acts that will grace the various Sasquatch stages are: Jack White, Beck, Tenacious D, Silversun Pickups, The Roots, Bon Iver and The Shins.

A few or the artists that we will be checking out this weekend are: Feist, St.Vincent,  Metric, Alabama Shakes, Spiritualized and The Civil Wars.

About Sasquatch! Music Festival: The four day event is a music festival held annually at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington.
