Shipwrecked, again
Astoria music festival welcomes country, folk performers
BY PETER KORCHNAK
Sun hats, chairs and picnic blankets
are welcome at Shipwrecked Music
Festival, the North Coast’s newest per-
formance event – more than a year in
the making.
The festival was planned for last
summer. Two days prior to its opening,
however, rising rates of COVID-19
caused its cancellation.
“This is the second first annual
Shipwrecked festival,” Boomer Bar-
bosa, owner of 94.9 The Bridge, the
festival’s promotions partner, said.
Shipwrecked’s artist lineup includes
Astoria musicians Holiday Friends,
The Hackles and Idanha. Tacoma,
Washington musician Shannon Curtis
will flood the lawn with art pop, while
singer-songwriter Jacob Westfall will
pluck tunes from Portland. Mike Izon
will bring heavy summer vibes from
Oahu, Hawaii.
Sponsored by United Way of Clat-
sop County and 94.9 The Bridge, the
festival will also raise funds for local
causes. “All the proceeds will stay in
the county and go towards building our
community,” Rachel Schack, vice pres-
ident of United Way of Clatsop Coun-
ty’s board, said.
The all-ages festival will also
include a kids’ corner, photo opportu-
nities with pirates, cornhole and other
entertainment. “We want to encour-
age everybody to spend the day
out there,” Schack said.
“It’s a chill, fun atmo-
sphere for spend-
ing some time with
people, listening
to some great
tunes, and hav-
ing some
beverages
and good
food,”
