Flannel Sasquatch

Flannel Sasquatch was formed in 2021 by founding member Brian Palidar with a vision to pay tribute to Seattle's unique grunge scene.  Chris Cappello holds down the lead guitar duties while keeping things lively.  Mark Peterson on bass and Juan Carlos Quesada on drums round out a solid rhythm section keeping the groove tight.  Geoff Nelson and Jessica Zandor keep the crowd amped up with their powerhouse vocals.

Brian was a member of the UW Marching Band playing trombone and cheering on the Huskies, so embracing the Seattle music scene has always been a natural fit for him. He cut his first album in middle school band camp at Crow Recording Studio.

Mark has played bass guitar, since high school which he picked up after setting down the baritone.  His bass clef deep grooves keep the music moving and alive.

Sarah hails from BC, where she grew up singing and playing classical music.  Now that she's both moved to Seattle and hit middle age, Sarah has discovered the mad joy of wailing on the drums.

Chris, a California-born shredder, living the 90s dream. Catch him channeling inner grunge heroes and bringing the raw energy of the era back to life, one soaring solo at a time on lead guitar.

Geoff is our front man and is a singer-guitarist from Edmonds.  A fan of classic rock, punk and grunge.  He enjoys teaching his kids the joys of rocking out to artists like Queen, Nirvana, the Pixies, and Soundgarden.

Jessica is a recent transplant from Chicago.  She learned how to sing and play the keys from her Grandma Babe as a child and enjoys sharing her love of music with her family and friends.  Jess loves to perform and brings that energy on-stage to every performance.

Flannel Sasquatch is based out of Bellevue, Washington.
