Anthem GO Outside Festival
The main event, The Werks, hit the GO Outside Festival Mainstage, Saturday at 9pm.
On their latest LP Magic , melodic visionaries The Werks transcend their funk rock roots while never
losing their identity. Poignant songwriting and engaging improvisation come together on a record that
showcases their maturation as a multidimensional group of uniquely creative musicians.
The virtuosic rhythm junkies of The Werks have released four highly acclaimed studio albums over
the past ten years - Synapse (2009), The Werks (2012), Mr. Smalls Sessions (2014), and Inside a
Dream (2015) - performed well over one thousand shows (including launching their own multi-day
music festival The Werk Out), and released countless live recordings including last year’s Live at the
Werk Out 2016 live album. In that time they’ve earned a devoted fan base across the world and
reputation as one of the most energetic, compelling, and downright entertaining live acts in the
business. They’ve developed a hard won confidence, and a willingness to fearlessly chart new sonic
territory on Magic.
“This is our first truly multi-genre album” says Chris Houser. “Each track has its own unique vibe and
sound. We didn’t write these songs to please people, we wrote them because this is what we hear
when we turn off the outside and let the creativity flow.”
GO Fest Music presented in partnership with 5 Points Music Sanctuary.
