The Pacific Audio Fest is the first major audio show promoted by exhibitors and music lovers for music Lovers and exhibitors!
The Pacific Audio Fest is a new audio show hosted in Seattle and serving the entire Pacific coast, from Los Angeles to Vancouver, BC. Seattle is a top tech hub and one of the fastest growing communities in the USA, plus it is a vacation paradise in the summer months. The Seattle area has great demographics for the audio industry and incredible natural beauty to make this a great destination for the audio enthusiast and their families.
PAF show Director and Founder Lou Hinkley has over thirty years of experience as an exhibitor in music trade shows and festivals with his company Daedalus Audio. The show collaborators include Gary Gill, Founder of Capital Audiofest, and other notables in the audio industry, together we will make this a fun and extremely high-quality event for attendees and vendors all the while keeping this show to a scale that works for everyone. We personally believe 80-100 rooms makes for a great, stress free show and will leave larger shows than that to others.

Very few musicians of any stripe so personify a musical genre as completely
as Tony Furtado embodies Americana roots music.
Tony is an evocative and soulful singer, a wide-ranging songwriter and a
virtuoso multi-instrumentalist adept on banjo, cello-banjo, slide guitar and
baritone ukulele who mixes and matches sounds and styles with the flair of a
master chef (he’s also an accomplished sculptor, but that’s another story).
All of the music of America is in Tony’s music. Relix hit the nail on the head
when writing of Tony: “True talent doesn’t need categories.
”A native of Pleasanton, California, who now makes his home in Portland,
Oregon, Tony Furtado took up the banjo at age 12, inspired by the Beverly
Hillbillies television show and a sixth-grade music report. He first attracted
national attention in 1987, when he won the National Bluegrass Banjo
Championship in Winfield, Kansas. Not long after that, Tony opted for the life
of a full-time professional musician, joining Laurie Lewis & Grant Street. A
second victory at Winfield, in 1991, bookended his years with Grant Street.
In 1990, Tony signed a recording deal with Rounder Records, one of the
country’s preeminent independent record companies. Beginning with
Swamped in 1990, he recorded six critically acclaimed albums for the label,
collaborating with such master musicians as Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas,
Tim O’Brien, Stuart Duncan, Kelly Joe Phelps and Mike Marshall. During this
period, Tony also performed and recorded with the band SugarBeat and the
Rounder Banjo Extravaganza with Tony Trischka and Tom Adams.
Beginning in the late 1990s – influenced by such musical heroes as Ry
Cooder, David Lindley and Taj Mahal – Tony added slide guitar, singing and
songwriting to his musical toolbox and began leading his own band. He is a
tireless road musician who performs in a dizzying variety of formats: solo, in
a duo or trio or with his full five-person band. He especially values the
opportunities he has had to tour with such legendary musicians as Gregg
Allman and with such esteemed slide guitarists as David Lindley, Derek
Trucks and Sonny Landreth.
Tony has performed throughout the world at top venues and appeared at
such prestigious music festivals as the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, High
Sierra Music Festival, Jazz Aspen, Kerrville Folk Festival, Strawberry Music
Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Sisters Folk Festival, San Jose Jazz Festival
and countless others.
