Something extraordinary is about to happen.
On May 9, 2025, Seattle’s music scene will come alive like never before. Dreaming in Analog is a one-night-only celebration of life, legacy, and the soundtrack that shaped a generation. This electrifying event brings together rock royalty, hip-hop pioneers,
and rising stars on one stage—all in honor of legendary journalist, author, and community and music champion Charles R. Cross.
Get ready for an unforgettable night where the raw power of grunge collides with the energy of hip-hop, and soul-stirring ballads meet rebellious rock anthems. A night where the icons of Seattle’s storied music history stand shoulder-to-shoulder with today’s brightest talents, sharing the stage to honor a man whose words helped define and gather us all.
THE ULTIMATE MIXTAPE, LIVE ON STAGE
This lineup reads like your dream playlist—curated by Charley and the city itself:
• Nancy Wilson (Heart) — Guitar goddess, Grammy winner, rock icon
• Sir Mix-A-Lot — Seattle’s rap legend who made the world listen
• Chris Ballew (The Presidents of the United States of America) — Alt-rock genius with a pocketful of peaches
• Molly Sides (Thunderpussy) — A frontwoman with ferocious power and raw energy
• Eva Walker (The Black Tones) — Indie visionary and hometown hero

Plus, some serious—and not so serious—special guests.
May 9th is a love letter to Seattle and beyond, its sound, and the stories that stay with us.
A NIGHT OF MUSIC. A LEGACY OF STORIES.
Twenty-plus iconic songs. Brief and entertaining personal stories. Powerful readings— some by the subjects themselves. Dreaming in Analog honors Charles R. Cross’s unwavering passion for music, storytelling, and the Seattle arts community he championed with heart and soul.
“Losing Charley left an unfillable space,” says Nicole Jon Sievers, producer of Dreaming in Analog. “But through this night—through you—his spirit and legacy live on.”
