Press Quotes

In the days following the ninth installment of Summer Meltdown Festival I have twice dreamed myself back to Whitehorse Mountain Amphitheater. This is a first for me in all my years of fest attendance but something about this experience, even for a first time attendee like myself, spoke powerfully to my subconscious, transporting me back to the snow covered peaks and lush forests ringing the Main Stage or once again happily jostled like a roiling water molecule inside the late night tent (or "Boogie Dome" in veteran's vernacular). In most fundamental ways, this is a perfect festival, striking to the heart of the gypsy soul that makes one set up a temporary home away from home, finding kinship, kindness and carefree jubilation amongst folks who were once strangers but by fest's end have joined one's extended family.  -- Jambase.com

“I love High Sierra, enjoy Bonnaroo, tolerate others but can’t live without Summer Meltdown.”
- RELIX MAGAZINE

The Summer Meltdown is a grassroots music festival that has grown into something truly spectacular. Terra Roots Foundation in conjunction with Seattle rock band Flowmotion organize and operate the Meltdown and their many years of hard work to make the festival what it is today is quite evident. Having top-notch security, magnificent lighting, impeccable sound and the best hospitality crew on the planet, preparing home-cooked meals with local organic ingredients for the bands; the weekend-long festivities were very well organized and carefully thought out, each day flowing in perfect progression. The music schedule nicely matched the hour of the day, audience vibe and age group—crescendoing in all the right places and providing the ideal soundtrack to Meltdown life, morning, noon and night.

Seattle PI - Feature: Flowmotion
For the long hot days of summer, Flowmotion is your go-to party band. (For the past seven years, the band has hosted an outdoor festival called Summer Meltdown in the mountains north of Seattle.) Energetic Jimi Hendrix guitar bravado, driving funk bass lines and Clauson's gruff vocals help ground the songs within the rock genre, while the band's tendency to break into unscheduled improv keeps the live shows fun and flamboyant. By Tizzy Asher, Seattle PI

Building on the strong support of their loyal fan base in the Northwest and all parts West, Flowmotion has been quietly toiling away, perfecting its song craft and establishing solid cred as first-class festival operators.
Relix Magazine 2006

Returning home to civilization after Summer Meltdown must be how a space alien feels arriving upon Earth. The hustle and stress of everyday life seems strange. I feel out of place amidst the confusion, yearning again for the utopia of counterculture that Flowmotion creates for one long weekend per year … and I only experienced the middle half of the four-day fest!
Adam Brown, What's Up Magazine

The music was rich and diverse, the details were well attended to, and the people all left smiling.
