With the Chapel closed indefinitely due to the ongoing pandemic, the Wayward Music Series has moved online. Since April 2020, in place of our usual ten monthly concerts, Nonsequitur has been curating and commissioning Seattle-area artists to create streaming audio sessions of exclusive material. Some of these are “live” performances recorded at home or in the Chapel just for this occasion. Other artists create a mix of pre-recorded material that has not been released elsewhere.
These audio recordings are available to stream free of charge via the links below. New sessions are released on Fridays and promoted via our weekly e-newsletter, our Facebook group, and our Twitter feed. The artists retain all rights to their recordings. We strongly encourage you to support them by visiting their web sites and purchasing their other recordings or contributing to their crowdfunding campaigns.
Wayward in Limbo will continue for as long as we are unable to use the Chapel for public performances. Now at over 100 sessions, it is becoming a remarkable catalog of recent adventurous musical activity in the region.
